GOT THE CALL - 45/90 IS READY.

Post by 44magnum »

GOT THE CALL ON FRIDAY.
GONNA BE LEAVING NEXT MONTH TO WORK ON THE PROPERTY IN
MONTANA. STOPPING ON THE WAY TO PICK UP MY NEW RIFLE.
ANYWAY, GONNA ORDER SOME SUPPLIES IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
GOT PLENTY OF GOEX, THANKS TO RDNCK.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PREFRENCES AS FAR DIES ARE CONCERNED?
BUFFALO ARMS SHOWS THREE SETS: RCBS, LYMAN & REDDING.
I REMEMBER KIRK STATING ONE TIME THAT REDDING MADE A GOOD
SEATING DIE. DON'T KNOW IF THAT COMES WITH THE SET OR IF ITS
EXTRA.
WANTED TO USE THE STRECTHED 45/70 BRASS FOR THE EXTRA CASE
CAPACITY. I DID NOT SEE THAT ON THEIR SIGHT.
FINALLY, ANY PREFERENCE ON WAD MATERIAL: POLY, VEG OR WOOL?
THANKS.

Congrats 44Mag...I just ordered a 45-70 last week and so have a looong way to go.

For now I'll live vicariously through you guys :)

I have found that my Lyman .45/90 dies do very well. I added a Lyman taper crimp die and a compression die (which I purchased from Buffalo Arms) to the basic thre die set. I am very satisfied with the way the Lyman dies function. My .45/90 Shiloh Hartford seems to digest the loads the Lyman dies produce quite well.
