Welcome to GBO! H&R will tell you to use levergun loads, but your shoulder will tell you otherwise!! Any load for the 1895 is safe in a Handi, and then some, but the recoil is usually the limiting factor.

You most likely will have problems loading to full COL with most 350gr and larger bullets, H&R .45-70 throats are notoriously short.
