Hello all -
Been a long time. I'm thinking about getting back into it but my brain has slowed down some (well, memory is bad) and though I have good notes from before, I'm afraid it may be a bit of a dumb question. Searched some, sorry if this has been covered. In a move, yikes, lost all my small reloading items - Accurate molds, sizing dies, etc. So will have to start again and building up slowly.
I shoot the Marlin 45-70 gg. 425 g at 0.460", gas checked. I have approximately 45 rounds left over but they're a bit of a mix in that the containers are marked with load data, some with load data and labelled "untrimmed" for some reason, and some with load data marked "bad trim" for some reason. My customary load is 39.7 grains IMR 4198.
I seem to recall I used both the lee sizing kit (push through, with the red container) to both size newly cast boolits and seat the gas check. Then, used my old Lyman 4500 for the lube itself. As I recall it was difficult to find a luber die at .460, though I eventually did.
Does it make sense I would have used both the Lee for sizing and the Lyman for lube only?
