I Own both a H&R Buffalo Classic in 45/70 and a Marlin 1895MXLR in 450 Marlin, and I have only shot Hornady Lever evolution out of both. To me, there is no noticeable difference in power between the two when shooting this ammo. I have read that 45/70 doesn't feed as well in lever action rifles because of the rimmed cartridge, where the 450 marlin is belted and looks like a long 45ACP. All I know is my 450 Marlin feeds and cycles extremely smoothly and always has lots of power.
