Default RE: New Marlin 45-70 Owner Has Questions

I will add that in reloading these things be careful not to bulge the neck when seating the bullet. There is a canelure grove on the bullet and you want the top of the neck to line up with that so when you crimp it, it has something to hold on to. I crimped some to hard and it made a very small bulge. They wouldn't chamber and would get stuck. IF this happens don't reef on the lever hard to get them out. It will bend belive it or not.
