SAAMI spec for 45-70 rim thickness is 0.070 inches. What is the rim thickness of the Hornady brass giving the misfires? What is the rim thickness of the Rem, Win, etc. brass that does not misfire?
For any of the misfiring 30-30 or 45-70 Hornady cartridges, has anybody measured the rim thickness?
Still curious.

I swear I measured and posted my results like 2-3 days ago, but here goes again.
Black Hills: .066, .065, .066
Federal: .067, .066, .065
Remington: .065, .068, .064
Hornady: .064, .068, .067
I grabbed 3 random cases out of my sorted brass and measured each one in 3-4 places and posted the average.
