New Remington 405 gr .45-70 factory loading

Could you explain that further please. The modifying of the die? Not sure I follow that as to how to accomplish or why I would want to. Maybe another thread is needed for that.

I am sorry my wording upset you, it was not intended to cause a fuss.

The barrel on my GG is so accustomed to lead I am not sure I would purchase of of these new full pressure rounds, I have only shot 20 of the trapdoor rounds before switching exclusively to lead cast bullets, mostly the MBC 405 grain for hand loads and HSM Cowboy for fun (and some hunting) and HSM Bear for hunting. But had these been available when I bought the rifle I would have been more likely to stay with a jacketed bullet using the trapdoor for fun (and some hunting) and the full pressure rounds for hunting.

I have just make a spacer from old water pipe, then put the round in the top upside down and crip.

Bingo.

Though with some cutting and spacers it can be used as normal. Lee now has a FCD for the Bushmaster.
This puts a stab crimp into the side of the case at the spot a cannelure is in the resized bullet. Thereby preserving the case mouth for head spacing and still putting a Mean Crimp on the bullet for proper ignition of H-110.

it was not intended to cause a fuss.

Please excuse my ornery. I lament the fall of Remington much. I like their ammunition and don’t wish it to suffer. (It is silly to use Winchester ammo in a 760.) From the description of the post it sounded like a different, easily remedied issue.

My apologies, friend.

I might see the same case folds at the crimp in the picture as my purchased ammo, so maybe they are supposed to be there.

The crimp is right. That's the way mine look also
