Today at the Bench.....

Wow! You were busy. I have a question, can you reload 45 Colt with 45-70 dies? I am wondering why I have a set of dies and I wonder if the brass I sold you came with the dies. The older I get, the less I remember, lol.

The 45-70 is bigger around than 45 colt, so no way to use them for sizing, and I think the difference in case length would render the seating die useless too.

My memory isn’t getting any better with age, that’s for sure.

That is kind of what I thought. It totally escapes me as to why I have the 45-70 dies then. I used to enjoy shooting the 45-70 from a contender, but it wasn't mine and it just seems too painful at my age. Oh well, it may provide more g/f un money, lol.
