What ammo do you plan on using? Modern 45-70 loads can be considerably hotter than what was around when that rifle was made. Ten X makes a black powder replacement load, I'd call them to double check for that in an old rifle.

Good point. From what I have read is that although the loads are hotter , one would have to run a significant amount of ammo through to affect the rifle.
