I’m beginning to reload .45-70 for my new 1886. Initially I’m putting together Trapdoor loads with Acme .405 gr. coated bullets.
I’m also using a Lee FCD, but having never loaded this cartridge before, and knowing I need a certain amount of crimp in a lever gun (this being my first), can anyone look at this pic and tell me whether it’s too little, just enough, or too much crimp?
Thanks in advance!
