Miroku/winchester 1886 and hsm bear load +p

[Spaenaur]

Hi!
I just bought a new Winchester 1886 short rifle in 45-70.
Just for the fun I would like to try some hot 45-70 ammo.
Is the new 1886 production can handle the hsm +p?

On the hsm site only the 1895 marlin and 1885 are listed.
There not a lot of infos on the new rifle.

The new Miroku/Winchester 1886 will handle the HSM Bear load easy enough. Same goes for the Pedersoli 1886's. The 430 gr RNFP gas checked boolit
launched at 1800 fps won't strain the modern made 86's. The Bear Load may bug ones shoulder though after a bench session.

Thank you!
I will order 2 boxes!

A sissy pad wouldn't be a bad idea either if it has a crescent pad on it.

I can guarantee that... Miroku 1886 butt + 430 gr + 1800 fps. = hurt to a #7 or 8 . I have a 45-90 that with anything over 400 gr and 1600 fps will make you aware of when the trigger "breaks".

I had the same rifle a few years back, We were testing 460gr LBT hard cast through it and it would make you see stars with the factory butt pad.
