Hornady 45 70 brass
« on: March 11, 2010, 02:33:52 PM »
What are you guys doing with your Hornady 45 70 short brass? I am speaking of the LEVERevolution. Do you load as regular brass, or just leave it alone?

Just load it up, but keep it separate.

I've reloaded mine several times.  With heavier bullets, I have trouble in the short throated BC Handi anyway.  I just worked up a load with these cases and use them.
