.45-70 Govt.

I am not happy with the Hornady New Dimension dies at all. The expander is giving me a pain in the posterior with brass that is the same of uniform length. For every 3 cases expanded 2 are over expanding. If they would have had any other brand of dies on the shelf I would have bought them.

Oh and I am sure it is operator error so I will not bash a brand. More times than not it is my error that is causing the problems.
