Hi,
I reccently acquired an agentine roller in 43 spanish (bottlenecked). Trouble is being in canada, I can't get any ready made brass up here without the expense of an export permit and other nonsense... Well i can, but its bertram and $6 a peice. As for 348 wcf, 44-77,44-90 to form from, none to be found, at all. I can get 50-110wcf, apparently a parent/relation to .348wcf, however the bases are a bit lare as well. I heard of folks forming 44-77 from 50-90 sharps (never did find out sharps or wcf, not much to be said for 50-90 wcf?), so picked some of them up, however the bases are a bit large above the rim and the rims will obviously need to be turned down. I also picked up some 458wm for las resort, turning belts off and swaging rims on via this method: http://www.dave-cushman.net/shot/44-...d_douglas.html .
The .458wm are just about perfect base diameter, just need darn rims, the 50-90 im leery of being able the shave off/squeeze down the bases .04" safely. I've scoured the interweb the last couple weeks looking for an alternative to paying $6 a pop for brass of what seems to be questionable quality. So I thought Id post here because thats where most the threads for 43 spanish searches come up .
Any opinions or suggestions? I have also heard of people using 45-90 as well but the rims are small and the case is undersized at the base (some people remedy by wrapping tape?).
