Dies for 45-70

Looking to buy dies for 45-70 any of you blokes use the Lee set?

I have just got a set of Lee 45colt dies, and noticing that when seating the 200gr rnfp projectiles I'm using it almost never seats them perfectly straight. I'm guessing its because the 200gr projectiles are so short and fat but its made me wonder if I shouldn't try another brand when I buy dies for 45-70


Currently I own 6 sets of Lee pistol dies and 3 sets of Lee rifle dies. Have occasionally had to sort out a few little things but have never found enough reason to try a different brand

I have lee dies for my 450 bush master. As long as I slightly flare the case mouth I have no problem with seating alignment

Try CBE australia, slug the bore then send the projectile to them and they will make a brass mold to fit your gun.
