Note 45-70 is much larger than 30-06 which also has a different type of head, like the 308 which loads fine

I have never had a SINGLE primer for any other type of shell mil load like the 45-70 Any yes this is after the factory adjusted the complete machine and replaced everything.

recognize any of these 650 parts? Primers are bad news if they go bang.

I have a plain-old Lee Anniversery single stage press kit...bought it for @ $65 about 10 years ago....simple, effective, strong (enough)....I buy thier dies too, and routinely can shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yds with a .223 bolt gun...

great for rifles, if I shot a lot of pistols, probably buy thier multistage press. I

Didn't I ask before if you had a Gatling gun? What are you doing with all these .45-70 rounds?

No gatling gun, just enjoy shooting a bunch. I do need a better shoulder pad for the 45-70 or I need to reduce the loads a lot. I currently use 55gr of 3031 with 350gr Hornady Fp and WLRM primers.
