.38/56 brass
« on: April 26, 2010, 03:15:08 PM »
Want to start loading for a 1886 Win in .38/56 and am wondering how difficult it is to form brass from .45/70. Just full-length size or is there more to it? Thanks

I use the LEE dies and just one pass is good to go, after about 4 shootings I start to check for length.

I used to go in steps from 45-70/ 40-65/38-56 and even went down to 33 but have found with lube and some Patience it isn't needed
