Just starting to reload 30-30 for Marlin 336 that my sister bought back in the early 90's. It's nice that she will let me use it since she hardly ever goes shooting. However, 45/70 lever actions have been calling to me lately.
First, I'm not a hunter; nothing wrong with it just don't have the access for it right now. So, this future lever action purchase will be mainly for general target shooting. Third, it seems that 45/70 brass being straight walled would be easier to cast and reload than rifle brass with a neck. Does this mean that annealing won't be as important with 45/70 brass?
Appreciate any thoughts on this subject.
