    Ha! Sorry but I have no pics of my Ammomaster loading 45-70, dang it!

    Although I'll be loading some 300 Win Mag for a friend sometime soon. I'll take some of that.

    Cool pics.

    BP on a 550; I believe it can be done quite satisfactorily if one sizes and primes off the press or merely primes. .45-70 does not always require resizing.

    Now I wish I had some pics of my 375 H&H mag reloads for my brother in law...a progressive full of huge brass sure is pretty.

    I'm most proud of those as they killed 2 Alaskan bison, 2 goats, and a charging grizzly in the same trip. That last one saved a mutual friends life when the bear was about 2 lengths away.

    A good friend of mine (last I heard) is loading exactly ONE cartridge on his ONE press.

    The press is a Dillon 550B.

    The cartridge is.... no lie....the .45-110 (.45-2.875) i.e.: "Quigley".

    Bit of a mismatch, eh wot? Still, it works, and works well.

    45-110 and 45-120 - two cartridges I would love to have the opportunity to shoot at least once.

    They are quite a hand/ shoulder full I,m sure you could make a reduced load for paper punching but that would,nt be any fun would it
    Hell a 45-70 with a max or near max load can give a pretty good wowlop
