I just loaded up a bunch of 45-70 400gr WFNGC rounds (bullets provided by forum member GAR - great bullets by the way). I typically reload using Remington cases, but I happened to have some Hornady cases from their LeverEvolution ammo laying around too.
The Hornady cases are a lot shorter than the Remington cases. So much shorter, in fact, that the bullet seating/crimping die bottoms out before it will crimp the cases. Anyone else notice this, or did I get a bad batch of Hornady LeverEvolution ammo?
I don't like the LeverEvolution ammo, so I seldom have cases from these rounds. My brother gave me a few boxes, and as I remembered, the rounds were less impressive in my opinion. Now, with short cases, I have even less reason to shoot the remaining two boxes I have left.
