[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2269406, member: 313"] I have always crimped my 45-70 loads using the crimp feature built into the seating die. I did notice that the amount of crimp varied with the length of the brass in a given lot. I will typically have several lots of brass in the works at any particular time; trimming each lot as needed. Now that I bought a separate LFD die I can easily adjust the die to put the same amount of crimp on all cases. In the 45-70 I crimp all the cases into a cannnalure so its easy to actually see how much crimp has been applied. And to keep on point - yes I crimped my 402gr Sledge Hammers into the cases before launching them into a big Maine bull moose. LOL [/QUOTE]
