Neck sizing die for 45-75

Asa Smith posted a topic in SASS Wire

#1 Does anyone know of a neck sizing die that would work on a bottle neck of the 45-75 Case? Trying to get the most out of my Jamison brass and my Lee dies work the full length of the case. I have had cases split on the 4th reload. I plan to anneal the neck then neck size only. My 45-70 neck size will not work due to the larger body diameter of the 45-75 case. Any advise appreciated... #2 Looking to have my original hammer on my 1860 NMA Colt (built in 1863) rebuilt (welded up and notches recut), as well as get a replacement trigger (the original has a larger hole for the screw). The originals have been ground on so much that a rebuild is needed.... I have a modern replacement hammer in the gun that works but would like to have all original parts (if economically feasible). The gun is a shooting example and not a high end collectible. Love the gun and it is a tack driver. (by the standard of my ability) Barrel ends are at point of aim... Thanks to any and all help Asa
