Tom, Just use use it as is with decent loads. If you want more power get a bigger rifle. Hot-rodding isn't what you want with a DR. That's like buying VW bug and wanting to race Grand Prix' Enjoy it! That 45-70 will do everything you need until you wander up her or further points of the globe.
Time to wake up & smell the coffee. The Baikal MP221 45-70 is nothing but a noise making toy; a living room conversation piece that looks a bit like a real double but ain't. Take a close look at the paper thin metal in the barrel walls near the muzzle . If you push that gun with suped-up factory ammo like Buffalo Bore or Garrett or with heavy hand loads you're likely to wind up wearing it. What do you expect for less than $1000?
