Not off topic at all...

I'm reading the informed posts with more than passing interest, trust me.

I've been gone here too long and forgot all the sea of knowledge one can navigate.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Also, it appears that 43 Spanish brass is the parent of reformed cases for a 10.5X47R. The rim and base diameters should be close enough to craft ammo. I can get close enough with 45-70 brass, too. It's base is .13" smaller, but wraping a strip of paper around the base and firing will size the rest of the case concentrically. I'll then fire form again with the paper strip removed, since the rest of the case fits the chamber tight now.

most likely 11,15x60R Mauser 71 is the parent case, there are over 200 diferent cases know made from 11,15x60R.
the 10,5x47R is one of the better known and wider used cartridges but exist in differnet versions what was very common then and is the reason for the 200 different cases.

there are probably more variants! make a chamber case and slug the barrel! you best option would be the 9,5x47R made by Horneber and Bertram because it have to be sized in a die only. this is a high quality gun and I would allways try to get a die set for this.
