What a great buy. Love those guns but just cannot shoot them like I used too.

So maybe I make a small dimple in the die body to allow the screw to hold the die? Would that work?

All,

I have been using an old Lyman 45 sizing/lube for years with only Lyman sizing dies. Recently I received three RCBS sizing dies in a trade and found them different not only to the Lyman...

Use BP and a paper cartridge.

Sounds like you have good winter project. Good luck on it.

Federal cases have the lowest powder capacity because they are thiker in the web and should help you reduce loads.

Even at the lowest loading level, the 45-70 will punch completley through a moose, both shoulders included. You really only need the to load to that level, after that, it is for big, tough animals,...

Put what doubs43 and Don McDowell said about the cartridge itself and add in the idiot that Custer was and it can only spell disaster for everyone involved.

Someday I will travel there and to...

You also had to remember that very few of the fights required the Troopers to fire all their rounds. Shooting a 100 rounds in a lightweight carbine with full loads, or even the lighter carbine...
