Shiloh & Rugar #1 loads
I see a post where someone says the Shiloh (45-70) can take the same loads as the Rugar #1. However, in the Lyman 48th Ed, it shows that maximum loads for the Rugar #1 in 45-70 exceed 28,000 cup. Are the max loads safe? Does it matter if the bbl is standard or heavy? I mostly shoot Trapdoor type loads, but I would like to know what the old Shiloh is capable of (30 inch standard octagon) in case some grizzly bear took exception to my crossing his path.

Rugar #1 loads and Shiloh
Thanks for your reply. Sounds like the slower burning powders for the 45-70 might be more efficient.
