I gave my son a custom take down Marlin 45/70 Guide gun that I built, I've never loaded for a 45/70, is there anything unusally or unique to the caliber. Does this caliber require case trimming, I've given some thought to this question and think the case probably won't need it? I want to surprise him with some loaded ammo and let him know I'm set up to supply whatever he needs!! William
