I have a 22" 45/70 barrel on a SB1 frame that I use to shoot substitute BPCR loads. I would not have a problem shooting factory ammo with it, but I don't because I have other 45 cal rifles. I am concerned about the what if's of someone else getting the gun down the road and putting hot handloads in it, but as already mentioned you can buy a used Shikari and put a hot round in it if you don't know any better.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
