I have never tried Universal in my entire reloading life, but have used a ton of Unique in all kinds of applications. This old Winchester likes this load pretty well....

I'd say yes on the 35 & 444, most likely prior to most Big game hunting seasons.
As to the 45 70 I don't know as I don't shoot it.

Yes, an interesting thread, I too own a Heritage RR. In fact, two of them and a Wrangler and a pair of single-sixes and a H&R.
None really get used as they were intended, the Wrangler has seen more...

I spoke with a friend who has one in 357 with a red dot and he thinks it's perfect.
I'll look for one to shoulder, but the only two calibers that would interest me would be a 38-55 or a 444.
