HORNADY VS RP CASES IN 45 70
« on: November 22, 2009, 10:52:50 AM »
When loading Hornady cases, do you use the same method as you do with rem. cases?
Do you load them with the same amount of powder etc., and using the same OAL?
I have been using the same powder measurement and the same OAl.
Haven't seem much of a diffrence.
Give me you thoughts.

PS  By the way, since I got this 45 70 die now working correctly, I shot it today with no problems.
Working on a new load and had some mixed cases, so I was just wondering about the difference in case length.

If your asking about LE cases, for me the answer is no. I want nothing to do with them.

I have a supply of rem and new federal cases. I am also working off a case of Federal nickle brass a buddie and I split some years ago.
