I'm looking at getting a set of dies for reloading my 45/70 brass and am wondering what way to go.
I have a 550 Dillon and of course a Rock Chucker.
I've reloaded for 20 some odd years , but never 45/70 or BP.
I have a couple hundred rounds of Hornady 325 FTX ammo (some shot) and quite a bit of Winchester, Federal, and HSM.
I got the itch for 45/70 early last year and picked up a couple of Ks' because it was cheap ,relatively, and I kind of fell into a Marlin 1895GBL dirt cheap. I recently got a Palmetto/Garret 1873 and since I'm used to rolling my own ammo I would like to know if the Lee dies are the way to go or if the Hornady New Dimension would be better. I understand Redding dies for 45/70 is what Dillon carries but have never used them. I use RCBS and Lee dies in my 550 so , what do you all think ?
Thanks, John.
