You know a .45 Gov. from 1880 isn't an ACP? It's .45 Colt. And that buying or selling anything on E-Bay gives money to the people who want to take you firearms away from you.

Here's my old reloading tools. Top one is a "no name" .44WCF (.44-40). Bottom one is an Ideal .38-55)
See the oodmag reference in the OP for how to use.

hound2013: You might try to contact Lyman for information about how it all works. I'm sure they would be interested to know their stuff is still out there and that you are interested in it.

Wrong... 45 Gov = The round for an 1873-?? Trapdoor Springfeld or more commonly known now as the 45-70
