Picked up a new to me Ideal 452460 two cavity and so far I'm very happy with the boolits that are dropping from it.

So I have discovered that I can crimp this brass by sitting the case on top of the shell holder. My only question now is will making "short" rounds by crimping in groove cause problems in the 1895G?...

Forum: Cast Boolits
Are you talking about pistol or rifle versions? They operate differently. The pistol version can swage a cast boolit down. I don't believe the rifle version will.

Its shorter to accommodate the bullet design in the LeverEvolution and keep overall length within specs.

I was gifted a couple hundred pieces of Hornady once fired 45/70 brass which some of you may know is shorter than standard length. I loaded boolits cast from my newly acquired Lyman 457643BV mold...
