I checked the load data on the Hodgdon site and they have 3 categories for the 45-70 as you mentioned. They list data for the Trapdoor up to 28,000 CUP, data for leverguns up to 40,000 CUP and modern rifle data goes all the way up to 50,000 CUP. Are you sure the limits for a Trapdoor are only 18,000 CUP? I have never loaded that low.
