If there is anyone out there that has experiance with "case forming" new 45-70 brass to 38-56, I sure could use some advise! I have questions about the proceedure and the required dies. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron W
Thanks for the responses guys, I will first clean the chamber as suggested and if that doesn't do it, I will try different ammo. If that doesn't do it , I will make a cerrosafe cast of the chamber and get back to you with the numbers. Thanks again, Ron W.

351 Win, where are you located in N.E. Fl. . I am in Tallahassee and I haven't seen any primers for months. I sure could use some if I could find them. I'm out!
