Speer .458 350 gr. bullet in Marlin 1895

In Mr. Foster's excellent article about the .45-70 Gov't., he endorses the Speer .458 350 gr. bullet for use in the post-1972 Marlin 1895. It would seem that Speer differs with that view, as that bullet is not listed in Category II (modern Marlin 1895). Before sacrificing my rifle or my well-being in experimentation, I'm curious about the truth of the matter.

Hi Rob, I have broken up that section into two paragraphs and provided a better explanation. That should hopefully clarify usage.

All the best.
