Hello, new here, and was recommended by Precision Shooters to check in here with my question, as they said that you guys would have the right answers.
Been reloading a few years now. Iv'e got a replica(Italian made) 45-70 Sharps. I've a friend who gave me a couple hundred 500 grain cast lead boolits, no gas check, nothing fancy, 3 lube grooves.
Going with most posted data, there are MinimumOverallLength listed. But these 500g babies are LOOONG. I can crimp ahead of the last groove ring, I can crimp into the shoulder of the last groove ring, or I can crimp just into the last groove ring, I suppose.
Using smokeless powders(blasphemy, I know, but please bear with me!!) does anyone have any suggestions or tips on just where one might crimp these pills??? Thank you in advance........................................... .......Lee
