Mountain Molds and 45/70

[castman]

I ordered a mold from dan at MM. A 350gr and a 500gr cavity in one block. He doesn't do two designs in one block. I wanted the 500gr and the 350 was in case the 500 wouldnt shoot. My question is will the 1895 stabilize a 500gr bullet? Velocities will be from 950-1200fps mostly and 12-1600fps occasionally.

Thanks

I think it will stabalize it ok if it will chamber it. It may not work through the action because of the length.
