Please Remove: 28ga or 24ga for making up .577 Snider cases

[Willy Tincup]

Anyone know if 28ga brass shells will work for making up 57 Snider cases or does one need 24ga shells?
Thanks

Don't know about the 28 ga but I use 24 wigh good success. I would only imagine the 28 will be too loose.

DO NOT use 28ga shotshells, unless of course you would like to damage your gun and possibly yourself. They are too small for the chamber letting gas by, usually blowing open the breech block.
