Brunix, here is the data directly out of the latest Hornady book. You can use the standard 45-70 casing, but it must be trimmed to length specifically for the flex tip from 2.105 to 2.040
I hope this helps you.

it's not for shooting mare than 5 - 10 round, only for test
i don't buy any bullet , only mold them...
I feel as much pleasure to reload and mold the bullets as to shoot them ...
but to try a few rounds, why not ..?
So far, I have reloaded some Sierra bullets JHP 300 gr ...
Not bad, but as I only shoot target, little benefit for a high cost...
I would like to test Hornady flex tip to see the accuracy and the curve at 100 & 200 m
Also, i like the "kick ass recoil" of 405 gr Hard cast...

many years ago I could and would have said that .... but those days are gone .... I still enjoy the bullet delivering a crushing blow to its target but I no longer like the rifle stock to deliver one to my shoulder ..

yep, it most certainly can .... that happens to be yet another reason I try to minimize the experience
