[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3605440, member: 43126"] I ran into a few cases of 45-70 measuring in and around 2.035. The manuals list minimum trim at 2.095 and max at 2.105. After some investigating, I realize these came with Hornady factory Leverevolution FTXs. Im loading cast, 425 gr WFN, COAL shows 2.550. I’ve read threads on a few different forums, picked up by a google, which say to measure the chamber, but that the smaller Hornady FTX cases are not the main factor, but more of the COAL, my rifles chamber, and if they chamber well in the lever. I’m going to measure the chamber right now, but just wanted to ask, to see what responses I get while doing so. Especially with the price of 45-70 brass, there are 18 of them, so I want to use them if I can. What are y’all’s thoughts, use them or trash them? [/QUOTE]
