jimmy j300 rook
Who shoots one?
I recently found a really nice old vintage Wm.Evans in this caliber and would love to find info on where to source some brass and dies.
I can find the brass in Canada, but at outrageous prices, so options would be good. My main search will be a source for the dies.
By any chance anybody have any sitting around they would be willing to part with for the right price?

StonecreekIt is possible that you might squeeze the very slightly larger .327 Federal Magnum cases down enough to work in a .300 Rook chamber. They spec just a tad larger in diameter (and .03" longer in length), but the rim is probably okay as is and running them into a .300 Rook FL sizer might do the trick. .32 H&R brass is the same, except cases would be just a tad short, but would also work.
