I use Lee Pro disk setups on my pistol calibers but use the Lee Perfect powder (bench type) mounted on my powder thru die fine for my 45-70. I do this as it handles stick powders much better than the...

They take about a minute to change with a 1/16" punch. Save the parts if you ever want to sell it but be careful not to loose the spring or ball bearing in the safety. Here it is a Gunz...

I use more Trailboss in my 45-70 and 45 Colt than any other powder. I find it accurate and great for plinking/target loads. It is especially good in 45 Colt cowboy loads also.

No problem as I use it for 9mm, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 454 Casull and 45-70. Now I use it on new 9mm and 45 ACP before loading it the first time. For 45 Colt, 454, 45-70 almost every time. However the 454...
