I've been loading .50-70 for some years for shooting in an 1870 Springfield Altered Sharps infantry rifle as well as a Springfield Model 1871 rolling block rifle. A lot of fun to shoot and easy to reload. I don't bother to re-size mine but they are good, accurate shooters.

Thanks for watching. I think I'll do another video w/o sizing. Or at least just using a .515 sizer. I really just wanted an easy way to keep the lube in the grooves.

Excellent video. My trapdoor is 45-70 but i appreciate the 50-70. Its a bit more work and money keeping them going.

Great video. No need to resize the brass as long as you are using black powder as the bullet sits on the powder which holds the bullet in place when seating and crimping. (Might need to resize the brass if you load for a different gun.) Also, take a container of water to the range and drop the brass in it as soon as it is ejected. You will be amazed how much easier the brass cleans up.

I really like the 1868 Trapdoor. Beautiful rifle you have.

Well looks like we'll be using this video here in the near future with all the 50-70 trapdoors caleb seems to have bought here recently LOL

Thanks for watching.The only thing I'd say to do different is not size the bullet down like I did. there is a larger sizer you can get that I just didn't have at the time. If you have any questions feel free to reach out any time.

Thanks for watching. These are a hoot to shoot. Quick note: I just purchased a .515 bullet sizer which I think I'll use next instead of the .510. Stay safe out there and have fun.

Great video! I have a 68 Rifle and Cadet I use the Lee mold which cast a similar bullet to yours. I shoot mine as cast .515 and either pan lube or finger lube them,

Curious as to what your alloy is for casting these bullets

@commonsenseincalifornia2579 9 ай бұрын

Question for everyone, I’ve been casting and reloading for years. Just recently I picked up a Spencer and a 50-70 trapdoor. My 450 grain mold got here today. My question is, is it okay to cast with hardened lead like all my others, or should I do pure lead not to damage the barrel. Would it matter?

Hi Shiloh, Love the 1868 Trapdoors, I like that they still have civil war parts on them. Looks like yours is in great shape also. Thanks for sharing your experience. Are you still shooting your Starr ? Regards....Doc

@a.r.m.4you182 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I think I might be able to get better accuracy from this rifle by leaving the bullets at .515 dia. but for now it still pops for fun. As far as the Starr- I haven't put much more time into it. I want to find a better way to counter sink the hole for the primer. I have a couple pieces of brass where the primer just wouldn't go because it was getting pushed too far down. I'll try to post a video if I can get it figured out and give you credit for the inspiration.

@@a.r.m.4you182 I understand completely, so many guns , so little time. I had better results with softer bullets so the black powder could bump them up. Good luck....Doc
