Trailrider #896 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Forming .33 WCF from .45-70 brass isn't difficult. It takes a two-stage set of forming dies, some patience and a bit of care not to get too hamfisted at each stage. Use LIGHT case lube at each stage, and wipe off excess lube before going to the next stage to avoid getting oil dents. Once you get the brass formed, resizing fired cases is no more difficult than any other bottlenecked cartridge. The only sad thing is that Hornady no longer makes the .338 FSP bullets. You can do quite well with hard cast lead alloy slugs, however. Stay well and safe, Pard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hard cast GC can be successfully loaded close to jacketed velocities, around 2,000 ft/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
