think the action would hold up to the 450 Alaskan round?
With what I remember in the Marlin you would have to keep the loads reasonable tame shooting the Alaskan round. The Marlin in 45-70 is limited to about 28,000 ? psi with that action. You can juice the Alaskan up to about 40,000 if I remember right. And in a Lever that would be like your Browning or Win 71 or better yet one of the modern Japanese Brownings or Winchester levers that will handle 40,000 psi. Or one of the Japanese Bro or Win Highwalls..
.It's a awesome cartridge.. I keep thinking about having one of my Browning 1886's reamed out to 45-90...
