HI GUY'S, THANK YOU FOR THE INPUT.. I HAVE BEEN RELOADING FOR 40+ YEARS. I HAVE USED FULL LENGTH 45/70 CASES FOR LITE LOADS (FROM TRAP DOOR PRESSURES TO SOME THAT MADE MY RUGER # 1 HARD TO OPEN.. MY QUESTION WAS SIMPLY, MAYBE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WITH EXPERIANCE ENOUGH TO KNOW IF LOADING A BULLET DEEP INSIDE A FULL SIZE CASE (WITH A LITE POWDER CHARGE) - TO APPROXIMATE A SHORTER CASE (45 SILHOUETTE - IN A 45/70) WOULD HAVE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECT, OR IF IT WOULD WORK JUST LIKE THE SHORTER CASE.

THANKS AGAIN - TIM. STILL LOOKING FOR A GOOD ANSWER..
