I forgot to mention cleaning the lube off the base of the bullet. You do this for two reasons, 1. like Jim said. and 2. so as not to let the wad stick to the bullet that may allow the bullet and wad to pull out of the brass upon seating(removal from seating die.)
I just loaded 80 45-70's R-P brass with the 538 Paul Jones bullet, over a .060 wad, over 70 Grns FFG Goex, with Winchester Rifle Primers.
Loaded 40 45-70 with PMC brass, 538 P.J. bullet, over .060 wad, over 70 grns FFFG Elephant(my last Elephant). Winchester Rifle primers.
Wow you sure go through powder fast when loading these big boys!
