The thing about 45-70 is that its performance depends on what gun you are firing it in. Factory loads that you'll find at Walmart, etc. are kept low pressure to be shot in trapdoor carbines, etc. from pre-1900. BUT... there are modern guns that will handle a lot more pressure like the Ruger #1, Siamese Mauser conversions, TC Encore, etc. These can really crank the velocity (and pressure) and change performance drastically.
