Found that a Lee #9, which is otherwise listed only for .41 Mag, does the job. To be sure I lubed the brass carefully! Have a query in to Gunstuff in the meantime. Will see what they say.

An update on the RWS Brass. Never got an answer from RWS but did from Lee. Basically to the effect that European brass can differ and not fit Lee's designated shell holder, but just go to next available size. I.E. use whatever works. Lovely. They referenced RWS and S&B specifically.
