Both the Ruger Number 1 and Number 3, in 45-70 can be loaded a lot hotter than a lever gun. They can be loaded up pretty close to a 458 Win. Mag. I shot a Ruger Number 3, some guy cooked up some extremely hot 500 solids for. That was the hardest recoiling gun I have ever shot, it had worse recoil than the 460 Weatherby Mag. I shot, sometime before that. I have shot multiple 458 Win. Mags. those are typically fairly tame recoiling guns, with factory loads. If I ever bought another Ruger number 1, it would be a 45-70, I would not mind having a Number 3 in 45-70, but I would not load it as hot as that nut job did.
That should be a fun gun you have, I am envious.
