HI : I am thinking of using a lee hand held press tool to reload my 45 70 sharps wherever I am and need to do so. I am needing to choose a bullet 480-5-- grains? ) get some filler material, ( what the hell is vegetable discs ) some goex 2 f ( I guess ) and some primers if I happen to be out or not.. could be .
I have a set of dies for 45 70, and a sharps replica
I have this picture in my mind of shooting a few loading a few up and shooting a few more right in the feild.. in any event I would want the kit for the gun to be portable and small and kind of like a package, ready to go .. some components and some reloads ..
If I am not planning a really firm crimp and am thinking that I would fire form the cases to boot, it does not seem like the little hand held press would be any problem at all.
I hope to get started once I get a few of the many questions I have answered here and on other posts/ threads.
thanks to all
