Hornady 45-70 brass

[Chaz]

Little more info on the Hornady brass, they weigh 185 grs. +- .5 gr. This is about 20 grs. heavier than the unfired WW I have on hand, and the WW varied as much as 1+ gr
Hornady case mouth was .010, a bit thinner than the WW, and again more uniform.
Both cases hold 70 grs. of OE 2f with room to spare , by just dumping the powder thru the funnel.

Don,
I just loaded up 100 cases of 45-70 Hornady for an upcoming match. My first time loading this brass and I dumped 65 gr of OE 2F through my drop tube and only had an 1/8 of an inch left in the case. So I dropped it back to 62 gr. using a .030 fiber wad. I'm not sure what the compression will work out to be yet until I check what I need for bullet seat.
