I have heard great things about the Remington 405gr. SP bullet (inexpensive / quality bullet)in .45-70. However, my understanding is that you cant seat this bullet out to the cannelure in the Marlin 1895 due to OAL. Is this true? Also, I notice there is another small indentation/cannelure more towards the front of the bullet. Can you crimp in this small cannelure? If so, will a roll crimp hold in that small cannelure with hotter loads?

Thanks for your feedback.

I have shot hundreds of those remington 405 grain bullets.They are excellent bullets.I always roll crimp mine in the little indentation in front of the cannelures without no problems at all.This has worked for hot and mild loads both.The Remington factory ammo is loaded the same way.
