I'm looking to take a .45-70 case and trim the case back to 1.80" maximum case length, to meet our states maximum case length regulations for deer legal rifles.
I want to load a 350 grain cast bullet, with gas check into this shorter case. The bullet is .852 in length, and .455 from nose to crimp.
My question is, will a shorter CARTRIDGE OVERALL LENGTH create a dangerous pressure situation in the gun ?
I plan on using these in an H&R Buffalo Classic .45-70 SINGLE SHOT rifle.
Thanks for any and all input !
