Thanks for the feedback on the press situation. I sure would prefer not to buy another press. I have 4 (two different Corbin swaging presses, one Bonanza, and one Herters). The Herters is the only one that has a chance - I'll have to check when I get home.

I think I can handle all the prime/deprime/compression chores well enough. I will have to modify a taper crimp .45-70 to work if I decide I need to crimp a little. But the killer will be the one-time resizing chore. Maybe the chamber will be sloppy enough to get around this problem.

The rifle is yet enroute and the brass is not yet ordered.

I was considering some 24 gauge Magtech shotshells that are advertied on gunbroker.com as being suitable for .577/450, but otherwise, it is Rocky Mountain Cartridge turned brass.

All loads will be black powder and all bullets paper patched.

Targets will be big and warm blooded.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Brent
