[Name of the shot shell brass shell press that resizes shells]

Or make or have made one of these: lay it across the jaws of a vice, insert lubed shell into .795 hole, pound in with rubber mallet, turn over, insert nut driver that will fit around primer pocket, pound back out.  Rarely need to use smaller hole.

 

Abilene,

 

I’ve got one of those. No help with the Magtech. I use arbor press, about 1/10 inch from bottom-out. No matter what I did, it wouldn’t go in all the way. Like you, I use an 1/2 inch deep well socket to get them out.

 

I’ve chambered the magtech empty cases in a modern shotgun. No problem. Sliding the empty cases in to my Parker and LeFever Damascus shotguns, that same 1/10 inch wouldn’t go. I’ve got all brass Winchester and UMC hulls. They fit my guns perfectly, no resizing.

 

I eventually got someone to run them on a lathe with a mandrel. I had one box done. Then the empty cases would fit in my Parker and Lefever shotguns. I lost two of the magtech cases, due to splitting, on the initial fire. Eventually, I’ll anneal them. All the other magtech let go.

[Not gonna fall for that again….]

Once in a while, I get an unforeseen 9 mm stuck in a 45 caliber when I’m dry tumbling.

 

I turn my Tumbler on and then hold the 45 case up of against the center stud. In about 10 to 15 seconds, I can pull the 9 mm out easily.

[Black powder 45/70s]

Slow Poke,

 This is how I load the 4570.

1. Fire form brass, no resizing. 
2. 20:1 or 25:1 lead tin, .459 sizing, vigilante lube or SPG
3. CCI BR2 primers. Winchester second.
4. Primers wads under the primer, newsprint. (You could dispense with that, little effect)
5. Expand slightly - the case will chamber, and accept the bullet. That’s takes trial and error to get right.
6. Used a drop tube. 64 gr 2F, you want to compress the powder .05 - .10”
7. Vegetable wads, topped with newsprint wads (prevents the wad from sticking).
8. Used a compression die. Don’t use the bullet to compressed the powder.
9. Seat the bullet. I only have to use the straight line seated on 1 in 50.
10. I generally will you the cartridges in a box, bullet side up, for two weeks to a month. That way the lube sticks so I can withdraw them, and not lose the bullet.

 

For years I use a blow tube on the 45-70. Had to go to wiping with the 38-50. If you go to the blow tube, deep breaths. The air in the lungs are 100% humidity, the air in the airway is not.

Snuffy,

 

The twist rate on your barrel is indeed marginal. Do you have any lighter bullets you can try?

I am always amazed at the Quigley, the bucket, you can hear the unstable bullets going down range.

Wow wow wow wow etc.

And they hit!

[Chiappa vs Rossi]

I’ve a Rossi Puma Interarms 45 from around 1991-2.

 

1. The 45 loading gate VERY sharp. 
 

2. The bore was the chatter(sp) marks. I had to send 70-80 firelap slugs down the bore to get it reasonable. Open it up to .453
 

If you can, checked the loading gate, and the barrel.
