I think they look awesome, therefore I want some. It'll probably be a bit of a PITA to reload, but it can't be worse than .41LC. And I bet they sound awesome too.

Anyone knows where they can be bought in Canada? Because apparently brass is a protected strategic asset in the US, or something.
 
MAGTECH in Brazil makes 'em.

They take standard large PISTOL primers, are available in 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32-bore.

Graf's in Mexico, Missouri stocks the whole line, so your dealer can order them for you if he has the right export permits and so forth.

24 is PERFECT for .577 Snider, can be necked to .450 MH; 32 works fine for .50-70, .45 Beaumont and a few others. You could probably get .450 GG out of them if you have something to shoot it in (we WISH!).

Fellow up by Edmonchuk imports them, too. Check out WILL BILOZIR. About $37 a box of 25. IIRC his website is bilozir.net. Google is your friend!

Cabela's in the Excited States are dealers ($22.50 a box of 25) but the Canadian stores don't stock the things and, frankly, don't seem very interested. D*mned nuisance,too: I am sitting on 4 Sniders, 3 MHs and a pair of Beaumonts!

Then you need the RCBS cowboy die set for the caliber of you choice. It is fun to load. You need oversized wads and cards. ie for 12 gauge get 11 gauge wads and cards.

You roll crimp the brass shell so annealing is a must.

And yes they look cool at the range. Especially when used with black powder.
 
Hey tbrwlf
Where do you get the dies to roll crimp? I have some and would like to use them but Im not sure how to start??
Any help would be appreciated

I wouldn't roll crimp brass shells. Would really shorten case life. You could apply a slight crimp; gluing the top wad in place is common.

You can get them from buffalo arms in the states. Shotgun hulls can be shipped accross the border.

Thanks! I had read that brass can't be exported, but I didn't know shotgun shells were exempted. Americans sure have a strange legal relationship with shotguns.
 
MAGTECH also makes them in .410

I have been playing with some .303 British brass converted to .410 shotshells and I only ever hot glue the overshot card on. It isn't cowboy-authentic but it's a lot easier and greatly extends the life of the cases.
 
the dies I got from my local gunshop. But you can probably get them from anyone who orders RCBS products. I see them at buffalo arms and natchez

If you don't use a roll crimp then you have to seal the overshot card. Use a hot melt glue gun or crazy glue. Just don't over do it or it messes up the barrel.

I annealed my shells and have reloaded them about five times already without issues.

I use both 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 depending on the gun I am using. I would not recommend them for anything but break action guns. I would be afraid of the damage that could happen in an auto or semi.
 
I got a bunch of 10 ga brass shells that my grandfather used, the loaded ones have blackpowder in them, tissue for wads and are sealed with a glob of wax.
