What are you using for brass and reloading dies? Any favorite loads?

Most of the ones I have seen, are rechambered to 50-70 Gov't.

Up here, we're using .348's expanded and blown out, trimmed. Then just neck size. There have been problems with opening to 50-70.

Bill,

I use 348 brass. Prime, load about 10 to 12 grains of Bullseye top off with cornmeal and a wax wad and fire form, trim to length and neck size in a home made die, prime, then 32 grains of 4198 and top off with a 364 grain soft cast .508 diameter bullet, the biggest I can get in the case and still chamber. This combination shoots OK, but my Husqvarna sporter is .515 groove to groove and needs a larger bullet. When I first got it I tried using the Hornady 50 caliber hollow base/hollow point swaged muzzleloader bullet, it shot the best of what I have tried so far, now I need to make a mould but have been sidetracked by other projects.

Hope this helps.

I'll look into reformed .348 from Buffalo Arms. I guess my first order of business is to actually slug the barrel, or better yet, take a chamber cast.
