38-70 forming
Looking to p/u an 1886 in 38-70. I have done some forming w other rifles I own, making 32 lc which is easy, and 351sl easy too. Still trying to make 225 win. My question anybody have experience w CH dies? They are all I could find for 38-70. I only read one account where 45-90 brass was used. Has anybody heard of, or tried anything else? I currently have some 45-90 for resizing to 40-82. Input from the experts would be greatly appreciated. S.K.

Dave Davidson (CH4D) made my 10.5x47R dies on the basis of a chamber cast. He also told me that my 10.5x47R chamber was different than his other 23 10.5x47R chambers! Seems gunsmiths back then (late 1800's) made their own chamber reamers.
