[QUOTE="Tennessee Tater, post: 1994925, member: 54647"] You are correct, a lever is not as strong as a bolt or ruger #1. Check your reloading manuals, there are 3 load levels for 45/70 Trapdoor, modern lever action, and bolt/ruger#1. I believe the lever loads are limited to 44k psi, bolt guns are much higher. I would never run bolt gun loads in a Marlin. Browning chambered 450 marlin in their lever gun, not sure if it can be safely shot with bolt gun loads. Personally, the deer that I've killed with my 1895 in 450 at lever gun levels died extremely fast, and it's pleasurable to carry & shoot. [/QUOTE]
