Thanks for posting that up!
Not after one myself but still appreciated
Would also be handy to anyone wanting to build a Lee into a .45-70.

I made a simple insert that I riveted through the drain holes in my Long tom mag so I can load 5 dwon of the 405 Win cartridges. Slightly shortened to 3.05 from the 405's 3.175

The .405s will also feed easily through an unmodified Saiga-.410 magazine, but the front corners of the magazine are wider than the Enfield and it requires opening up the lower metal.
