Dave, I found "The Load" on the Marlin Owners website. Ed is listed as the author by his more formal name of C. E. Harris. On the MO site he goes by the handle of "Outpost75", FWIW. It was originally published in the now-extinct Handloader's Digest (12th edition, page 84) back in 1990, if I read the Roman numerals correctly. The MO version might be updated.
Nick Harvey's Practical Reloading Manual has a few cast bullets listed for .45-70 with Unique and 2400.
The Lyman Cast Bullet handbook won't help you, as the loads are clearly marked for use in the Winchester M1886 (and presumedly Browning & Marlin M1895) and the Ruger No. 1.l
