Lucky you, I'll bet you don't have to take up much time driving for a place to shoot.

Measure some once fired factory brass. I'd be willing to bet the brass lengths are all over the place. @Walkalong has it right in post #5

If you get the itch to shoot the 45 and 10mm they do make brass that uses small pistol primers. I haven't tried them yet, but I've heard the difference in 45 is negligible. Haven't heard any reports on 10mm using small pistol primers.

Love them wadcutter holes.

Dammit, now I'll have to order one as I also load for the 45-70 and I have several shotshell/pistol powders. Thanks for the reply Sooner

Curious, why the 47th? Looking for data no longer available in the newer manuals?

Lee now makes the Collet-Style Crimp die which is like the rifle crimp dies. They have no carbide ring. I cast bullets for my 38/357 and don't have the collet die yet, but I'm considering one to test the difference. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101683339?pid=240550 Midway link, I'm sure...

Not a death sentence, check this site out. I don't have one, but I will if I ever drop one of my Uni Flows and break the hopper. https://dramworx.com/products/rcbs/

Fill that unit up with enough water to cover the brass and pins. If you don't you'll have pins flying everywhere. I use one of these: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1016958652?pid=271904 Add water to cover the brass, install the cover and give it a spin. Pins completely separate in about 30...

I've never had new nickle plated cases. I've found that dry tumbling (used cases) in walnut media with nufinish nickle plated handgun cases slide through a carbide die easier than brass cases.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just realized I could use them in my Henry single shot as they wouldn't need a crimp. I've been setting the Hornady cases aside when I find them at the range.

We all know where we stand on our supply of ammo and reloading components. We also know that prices will not be going down. Either stock up or don't. Complaining and speculating won't change a thing.

This horse has been beaten to death on a weekly basis for at least a year...... 100 posts @Walkalong,,,,,PLEASE SHUT IT DOWN.....

I'm reasonably sure that most of us that are reading this thread would also like to see this video. Got a link?

It's what we're all here for, not a problem.
