A lot of mucking around and I dunno who would make the die set.

there was a guy on eBay selling dies etc, I bought one of them and loaded a total of 4 rounds(one batch of matchead primer compound) before I realised there were much better things to do with my time! was a interesting exercise and works out very cheep if you have free lead but takes forever. I still had issues getting the primer everywhere it needs to go to be reliable,and of course there is still the dead spot on the rim from the first use.I fired them from a bolt gun so I could line up the firing pin with a supposedly good part of the rim-did think that for semi use you would need to use a gervarm or the like to make sure you got a hit on a good spot. I used trail boss for powder.
