We fossils remember reloading larger cartridges pre Woodleigh, Bertram etc.

We did what we could. In Australia we were lucky to have Peter Davern making dies.

For the 404J RWS Ammo was relatively cheap and a source of cases once fired. For the life of me I can’t remember what bullets I reloaded!

We are lucky now as NitroX says. Heck, you can even buy 12b Paradox cartridges! Just wish I hadn’t sold my WR Explora..... amongst others.

Interestingly for my 500/450 3 1/4” Magnum NE, older Bertram brass is too thick and requires reaming. Fortunately latter cases are just right, not as thin as Kynoch but thin enough to chamber without work. Bruce Bertram said he had probably changed them a bit over 30yrs!
