Been having a real hard time finding dies for 45-90. Will 45-70 dies work? Ive seen conflicting info online about this.

Thanks!

It appears that Brownell's has them in stock.

You will need a compression die, I like the ones the Shiloh rifle company makes, and possibly a custom bullet expander plug,which should be available from Buffalo Arms.

I have used a Collar .300 thick under the 45-70 die, it has worked well for me.

Me too, for the Lyman neck sizing die. I expand and seat with regular Redding 45-90 dies, although I make my own expander plug.
