Here's a second .22 Maximum Lovell for you Phil. Impromptu pic utilizing a loosey-goosey bench rest because I hadn't planned on shooting that day. Single shot Krag, built by Hervey (yes Hervey) Lovell himself, Pacific double-set triggers.
I got my dies from C-H 4D. The wait was way shorter than they predicted when I placed the order. (Sorry, I'm not loaning them out. I've been bitten several times in that regard.) All my brass was created by fire forming R2 and .22-3000 brass in the gun, never sized down .25-20SS brass. I neck sized with a .218 Mashburn Bee die I had acquired from God knows where and seated with a .22 Vickerman Universal Die until I acquired the proper dies. Frankly, that method worked fine. Get creative! There's always a workaround if you apply yourself.
