45 2.1 ppb?

RE: 45 2.1 ppb?
Greaser chamber, all of them 45-70 and 50-70's they made them all that way to shoot Gov't greaser ammo. No real problem other than not having the benefits of an original style tight ppb chamber. Try sizing one full length with your dies, when I do this with my RCBS 45-70 set I get an outside the mouth dia. of .469-.470" depending on the brand an spring back of the brass. That translates into .448-.449" inside dia. , of course depending on your case wall thickness. Screw your die out enuf until it gives you the inside dia you want to hold your ppb. Yeah you will work the hell outta your brass just like all them guys a shooting greasers, but it will work. I been playing with my trapdoor and .442" with 9 lb onion skin at 420 grs with 75 grs of Fg to duplicate the original Sharps 45-2.1" load. Shoots good and sure ain't a whiner load like most greaser shooters use. ??? You gotta ask, the help is here. bobw
