1871 Mauser rebuild - Alpine Stalking Rifle

[BlackPowderLove]

At $2.60 each, I think I'd by about 50 case's. They will last a very long time and add value
to the rifle. Loading dies are not cheap either!

Out of curiosity, where have you found them at that price? I have only seen them at 3.50-4.50 a piece, and most often they are out of stock on top of that.

Titan Reloading has the 43 Mauser dies at just under $30.00. That's what I use.

I doubt that you will be able to chamber the 450 bullets I have measured a couple of these prior to reloading for mine and they will chamber a 446-447 bullet at most. This is no problem as the wide deep grooves slug up the 446 nicely and are good for 4 inches or so at 100 yards. I am shooting 439 PP slugs that mike right at 446 when ready to reload and accuracy is good. I seat them about 1/4 to 3/8 into the start of the rifling. I am using FFG Swiss with light compression and a 1/8 inch grease cookie. Or for smokeless 15 grains of Trail Boss for just plinking.
