How to reload 50 Alaskan long (2.3 inch) case?
I'm considering a lever action converted to 50/2.3 -- that is, a straight-walled 50-110 shortened .100 inch (a 50 Alaskan with 2.3 inch case rather than 2.1). Cartridge overall length would be 2.70 inches. What off-the-shelf dies will reload the cartridge acceptably? Would 50 Alaskan dies reload such a case better than 50-110 dies? Or if neither is acceptable, who can make the correct dies?


It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson
