Good write up... I would Call it the 45 Libertarian... since its really just a 45-70 but with less government.

Actually, the 325gr FTX bullet is designed with two crimp grooves.
I wish they were. The .458cal 325gn Flextips, despite what the catalog says, only have one cannelure. The Barnes have two pressure relief grooves, but the ogive is too long.

It looks like the name might "stick"...that's what I called it on my thread on Indiana-legal deer rifle cartridges/wildcats.

How are you crimping this shortened round for use in a tubular magazine?
NOTE: THE RELOADING INFORMATION DISCUSSED IN THIS THREAD IS NOT INTENDED FOR GENERAL PURPOSE USE. IT WAS FOUND TO BE SAFE IN THE SINGLE-SHOT RIFLE USED FOR TESTING, BUT IS NOT MEANT FOR USE IN OTHER RIFLES CHAMBERED FOR THE 45/70 CALIBER.
With that out of the way, I'm not sure how/if Andrew is crimping these loads. Please do not use them in a lever-action rifle without carefully working up from safe minimums. The loads expressed in this threads were put together expressly for the stronger H&R action. I would not personally use them in anything other than an H&R SB2 or a Ruger #1.
