    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    You are a far, far gone handloader to try and load for one of those. At least you don't have to worry about cases.

    There will be utube videos on it. There are utube videos on every bloody thing probably including how to wipe your arse that may or may not be helpful

    Thanks @Marty Henry
    Had a look at You Tube
    That’s a LOT of faffing around, I don’t think I’m going to be loading that many

    I successfully reloaded Chassepot.
    Took a bit of faffing around but I got it to fire consistently though accuracy was not much to speak of. I replaced the rubber seal which is important. Most times the case would fully consume.
    Was fun but sold the gun and I think the bayo is in the next auction.
