I'm looking to buy either the cva hunter in 45/70 or the new Henry single shot rifle in 45/70. I've decided on the lee 405 mold as there is data for it in my Lyman cast bullet handbook 4th edition and my Richard Lee Book. It is basically broken up into 3 sections.
Lyman.
1st is for 1873 Springfield
2nd is for 1886 Winchester & 1895 marlin only
3rd is for Ruger #1 and #3 only
The third section is the only one that says anything about single shot rifles but doesn't directly say that it's ok to use data from that section. It just mentioned that some load exceed sammi but would be ok.
The Richard Lee book
1st all guns in good condition
2nd do not use for trap door or rolling block arms
3rd only for modern bolt action or Ruger single shot arms
Does anyone here load for this caliber in a single shot. I'm leaning towards the Henry single shot but haven't ruled out the cva. The Henry looks to be a better rifle.
Thanks, Nelson
