40-65 from 45-70

Using a good lube,such as imperial sizing wax,lube case and run them thru your full length 40-65 sizing die.Using a two stage method seems to work a bit better,sizing approx 1/2 of the case at a time.Check length
after sizing and trim to 2.095.Make sure you try them in your rifle before
loading the resized cases.

You may already know but Starline makes 40-65 brass with the proper head stamp.
