Be careful. 45 Colt is not the same diameter as 45-70. One is. 451 the other is .458

“Be careful. 45 Colt is not the same diameter as 45-70. One is. 451 the other is .458”

Thanks for that tip! I would have realized it before buying anything, but it’s good that you point it out.

I think, given that, that I’ll stick with .44 magnum for the handgun round, and 45/70 for the high-powered rifle. That way there’s no chance of loading the wrong bullet.

Have a good one!
