Today I loaded my first 20 rounds of 43 Spanish. I used the Lyman 439386 as cast with 20-1 alloy and lubed with my home made lube. I’m giving smokeless a try while I get my wad punch sharpened up. My charge is 30gr of IMR 4198 and over a Winchester LRP. Hopefully none of the precious Bertram cases split. I did anneal them prior to loading. All this to give my 1879 Argentine rolling block a go.
