45-70 Trapdoor

[alfajim]

A little updating here I now have 150 rounds of new brass 50 starline and 100 WW. Got 50 of the .458 - 405 HB bullits from BACO to use at first. They are 20-1 and pre lubed. I do have the Lee 405 Spence mold to cast them later in 30-1 if I find it necessary if the 20-1's don't seal well, in accurate!

Still need primers and powder. I am going to use large rifle primers just haven't decided on CCI or Winchester reading the reviews on CCI on Midway it is about 50 50 on reliability much better for Winchester any recommendations? I know a lot of you use CCI BR2 primers but right now they are out of the budget cost wise almost double the others.

Will use OE for powder after reading all the good reviews here. Am going to pick up 5lbs from BACO 4 of 2f and one 3f to try workups with the 500 0r 520 bullets for shooting out to a 1000. Most likely will get a box of the 1881 500 gr gov from BACO later to try at first.

By the way for all you trapdoor/buffington sight users Track of the Wolf now have the micrometer sight adjuster in stock I think it is $140.
