[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2142926, member: 69192"] Might want to take a look at the Lee Factory Crimp Die for the 45-70. Brownells sells them for around $20. It is not a roll crimp die, there actually is a collet inside of the die that swages the sides of the case mouth into the cannular groove. I've ruined more 45-70 brass trying to roll crimp the brass than anything. I read about this die, figured of $20 how could I go wrong, once I used it I've bought more of them for the various cartridges that I load for. These dies are cartridge specific, easy to set up, and once set they are forgiving on case-overall-length unlike a roll crimp die. I guarantee if you buy one you will never part with it. Here is a video on them, the first die that is shown in the video is the one that I use for my 45-70s, and yes I anneal every 10 rounds and get at "least" 20 reloads on my brass.
