Searched Baikal 45-70 pressure . Says gun is rated 2200 bar which is 32000 psi . Trap door loads are 28000 psi which is ok for Baikal . Next step up is Marlin 1895, encore, ruger 1,browning 1885, 35000 psi = +p . As in Hornady or buffalo bore ammo.

Gotcha, that's what the manual says, thought you might have seen something different. My old reloading manuals rate loads as trapdoor, marlin, and Ruger No. 1. Maybe I should buy new manuals. :)
