This Redding press did really well in the Ultimatereloader.com comparison test of single stage loaders. They make good stuff!

If you have access to a belt sander, you could by a Pachmyer or Limbsaver grind to fit recoil pad and have one that absorbs recoil nicely and fits perfectly. I did that with a Limbsaver grind to fit...

Also use Hornady One Shot lube and have not had issues. Using a RCBS 3 die Cowboy die set I've not had any issues with crumpling cases having reloaded over 600 45-70 rounds. What brand of cases are...

I also reload 45-70 and use RCBS's Cowboy dies and Missouri Bullet 300 gr. RNFP bullets and am happy with the setup. I have only reloaded cast, and have shot a box or two of jacketed factory loads...

Bought a Lee FCD recently for some cast loads in my Henry 30-30. Have reloaded approx. 50 rounds and really like it. Real firm grip on the crimp groove. Might buy one for my 45-70 too. Thumbs up!
