Will work for gun food
Running low on 45-70 ammo so about to load more. My standard load is 45 grs IMR 3031 powder under a 405 gr Laser Cast bullet. WLR primer and mixed cases . Not a Max load but still a thumper, velocity avg 1675 fps @ 60° f and plenty accurate with little leading.
My question is when to retire cases. This will be loading four for the batch I'm working with pretty much are all needing a trim but primer pockets are still tight and can't see any other issues with them. Hate to retire them early but want to be safe also. Looking for advice. TIA.
I'm not new to reloading, but mostly in the past have loaded handgun ammo and .223 & 308 .
