Looking forward to the results of your testing project.

I will be interested to know how those 143 Lever Hammers work out for you. I have bounced around thinking of trying those in a 1-12 twist Winchester M70.

My first awareness of this smaller company. But apparently they have been around awhile. This 45-70 load seems like a good one with what I assume is the 325 grain CEB Lever Gun Solid bullet...

These folks produce some uncommon 45-70 factory loads. https://www.ariaballisticengineering.org/shop/rifle-ammo/bl-premium-rifle/45-70-government-p/

My unsolicited non-Buffalo hunting 2 cents. Most cast bullets that begin with a fine looking flat nose / meplat are not going to retain that look or function of, after meeting heavy bone. The more velocity, the less likely. Maybe, they work good-enough some or most of the times. But, far from...

A week or two ago, Top notch service to Alaska ! Thank you.

As is, I best like the shorter 22" barrel M70.

Winchester 70 Classic Super Express 22" and Interarms Mark X.

As to availability, another option for a solid shank, bonded lead nose, similar to the TBBC is the North Fork SS.

Taken from a post on another forum. I don't think this gentleman is on this forum. He is a rather humble fellow with quite a bit of African game shooting experience. "I have taken 19 buffalo with the 375 H&H. One with 300 Swift AF’s (3shots). Six with 250TTSX (one shot each). Five with 270LRX...
