    Would the Mec collet sizer not work? Those may be easier to come across; if that would work I have one and could size them for you. No cowboy die set though.

    I've shipped a 600 in a flat rate box (forget the size) by taking the base off which requires one bolt. Then $15 or so and you'll get it shipped.

    Longshot on a 1oz slug is something I want to work up when I get my pressure trace system. I suspect it is just a matter of adding more powder until you increase the pressure, but that is no man's...

    You may not get good results from that, Longshot doesn't like to be under-loaded. A .678 hard cast will be about 450 grains, 1-1/8 oz is 492 grains. That is the lightest load you can find data for...
