I want to trade my RCBS 45/90 dies for a set of 45/70 dies. Is there a good place to post this? pm me if that is more appropriate. Sorry in advance if I am outta line.

I have a set of Lyman .45-70 dies. Don't know exactly what I would do with .45-90 dies, but I'm willing to trade if you want.

I have no idea. Never really thought about it. I use my RCBS dies to reload my .45-70, mainly because the are prettier to look at :lol:

Yes you can use the 90 dies on the 70.
No reason to crimp on a SS rifle.
Just bump the loaded round in the size die to close the case mouth enough to chamber.
