720 grains at 2000 fps would be EASY.

Oh the exuberance of youth...  ::)
Tyke my lad... did I ever tell you the one about the old bull and the young bull?   ;)

No #1 but I do have one of the new JAPAN WINCHESTER HIGHWALLS with a 28" octagon barrel I might try some of these loads in.

I don't know if they'd be safe.  Proceed at your own risk...

AtlLaw, you have not. :D

Just kidding TYKE:
I already said my old shoulders wount take it anymore.
Hot 45-70s is about all I can stand.

The Highwall action should take it with no problem.
