Robert methinks your being too conservative. Lee 45/70 dies are cheap, you can buy the 500's lubed with blk lube and for sure someone in Denver sells the real thing. By the time ya paid someone to load them locally you'd already have a load worked out with the original investment. Get the dies and materials-- lots around to coach the process. Jump on in-- you will enjoy!Wijbrandus said:Is there a place to get original-style .45-70-500 black powder cartridges? I don't reload. A friend of mine does, but doesn't have the dies, and we aren't sure we want to invest in them without trying this out first with factory stuff.
I've got a Marlin 1895 CB, and I'd love to see how it handles with those in the pipe.
