10.4 italian Vetterli AGAIN
I'm here to ask the age old question in a different way. I've decided it's time to make up some cartridges for my italian vetterli. I want to run my (the fool) plan past y'all (the experts).
8mm lebel brass. Trim it to appropriate length, fire form to size. Prime it, neck size it with a .41 swiss full length sizing die that I'll only press down part of the way (this is the thing I'm uncertain of whether it'll work) because I can't find a just neck sizing die for .41 swiss. Then seat a .44 magnum bullet with a .44 magnum bullet seating die. And of course there will be some powder and stuff put in there at some point. I'm gonna do this with a lee hand press. I know a bench press is better but my wife will kill me if I bring in one more piece of equipment that can't be easily put away such that she can pretend it doesn't exist.
Problems with my plan? Will the .41 swiss full length die work for my neck sizing? Advice is appreciated before I pull the trigger on all the components.
Bonus picture: 11x59r gras, 3d printed wirh 209 primers and airgun slugs. Please don't hate me for my destiny mousepad. I haven't played it in like a year.
