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.
GPM.

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

Converted to Gras or still running paper cartridges?

They are only for right handers

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 :thumbsup:

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.
