Something about seating 45-70 feels really good
Handloading is fun... Handloading .45-70 is more funner...
Free wheel weights are wonderful, because one doesn't need a lot of superhard to get the mix hard enough for 357. I ran out last night and the 15 bars of replacement was not nice to my shooting reserve money.Yes it is! Casting those 405 grain bullets and sometimes even 500 grains makes me happy that I use a 20# pot. And that I laid in a pretty good stock of wheelweights back when they were plentiful.

It's definitely a hungry for resources chambering. Part of the reason I started mining the burm at the range....Whoever posted the other thread was right. You are all a bunch of enablers. It would be so much fun to load 45-70, even if I never went above the old trapdoor loads. If it didn't eat powder and lead like a fat kid at a candy store, I'd have one.
What you really need is a .577Snider.Whoever posted the other thread was right. You are all a bunch of enablers. It would be so much fun to load 45-70, even if I never went above the old trapdoor loads. If it didn't eat powder and lead like a fat kid at a candy store, I'd have one.

That’s not a coffee can it’s an oil drum!
I forgot who said it(maybe you?), pretty sure I was in this thread a while back when I was loading some 45-70, and they hit the nail on the head for me.... "There's just something about dumping a bunch of powder into that coffee can of a case!"
