Howdy all
I'm reloading 11x59mm French for my Gras and have the custom Lee 11x59 die set. The set I have does not have a shellholder that fits Bertram 11x59 brass (custom drawn brass which is not reformed from anything)
Does anyone know if there is a shellholder that fits an original/Bertram case? Can't seem to find one and would rather not dremmle/mangle up a shellholder myself.
Cheers gents.

The rim looks like that of an 11mm Mauser. Any chance that might work? How do diameters compare?
 
I have NDFS 11X59R brass, but no dies for it. Its rim is the correct 0.667", which is far larger than 43 Mauser (0.586"), so you can rule that out.

Is the brass too large in diameter for the Lee shellholder? Too thick at the rim? Both? If it chambers and extracts you won't want to modify the brass.

CH4D sells a shellholder.
