There is such a wide range of loads for 45-70, I would contact Henry and ask the about the relative strength of their brass framed rifle. I know it is stronger than a Trapdoor but probably not as strong as a modern Marlin 1895 or Winchester/Browning 1886.
With the range of loads listed for 3031, you should be safe with charges in the mid 30's. You should not go lower than the listed minimum for the trapdoor loads and you might not get clean burns there. The Trailboss and 2400 suggestions were good.
