Throckmorton - Thanks for the tip, was wondering mainly due to the 45-70 Govt is a straight wall case, but then mostly I load for Bolt Action rifles, and this is my first lever action, so I wasn't really sure...

Ruger4570 - Thank You, I have order a factory crimp die...
I see you like the No# 1, Good Rifle, I have a no# 1 in .243 cal and also a M77 MK-II Frontier in .300 WSM Great Rifles !!!...
But since this is my first lever action, I wasnt sure just what would be a good way to go in regards to crimping...
