Thanks jbar4ranch,
I never knew that...trying my durndest to jam a 45-70 into a 45 LC...LOL

That'd be almost as bad as me loading 44 Rem mags in a 45LC. It was a Cimarron 1873 and I and the gun survived. Split the cases rim to mnouth and I had to drive them out of the cylindr with a hammer and dowel rod. Sent it back and it checked out in spec.

NEVER Rabbit Ear, carry on a conversation with anyone when you are loading up, or better yet shoot different calibers at the same time. From now on one Cal. at a time with only that guns cartridges on the table.

I found out that that old saying about Fools and children rang true. The Lord protects Fools and Children. I have been there and done that in both instances.
