being the owner of a bakial there is no way I would go 45-120 unless planning shooting black powder only. I am loading 45-120 to 450 NE levels I one of my rifles but it is a very well built Merkle conversion, we use 45-120 because the components are much cheaper than 450 NE with the same performance. I would not even think about it, t to mention the recoil from such a light rifle.
