I found an online copy of the original article. In it, Ed Harris did use this 13 grain Red Dot load in the .45-70 with satisfactory results. However he cautions this load was for more modern rifles like the Marlin 1895 and presumedly the Ruger No. 1 & Browning M1886. For Trapdoors he recommended lowering the charge to 12 grains, IIRC.
