now that I have a 45-70, I want to pickup a set of dies for it.
Normally I try to get RCBS dies.. just because I use them the most.. my fallback, especially for a caliber I won;t shoot a ton of, would be lee, if nothing else.. for cost savings.
now.. looking at 4570.. I see lee has a 3 die set for 30$.. and some like lyman about 55$
then I see rcbs has a couple offerings. plain 45-70 govt, and cowbow action.
what's the difference?
for reference.. my 45-70 is a modern gun.. biakal double rifle, 2200bar etc...
I already have some reloadable brass and projectiles i've pulled from some bulk ammo I got for near free ( witht he exact purpose to pull it..e tc.. )
( I'll porbably use some of those projectiles in a 458winmag/lott configuration as well.. but that's another post..
don't even have the dies yet..
)
?? so what's the skinny onthe different 45-70 dies?
lastly? has anyone loaded 45-70 for a modern gun using a black powder equivalent for reduced recoil loads? like pyrodex? advised or not?
have also heard of loads using rtrailboss.. etc.
thanks
