        <![CDATA[ Couple of questions on the above cartridge and hoping for some suggestions or input. I have been reloading for 46 years; but this is my first black powder
cartridge; and it looks like a unique one to tackle as your first. I recently acquired a 71 Mauser carbine that I am dieing to shoot. I have not slugged the
barrel yet (but will); but I assume the groove diameter is about .454 from all I have read on the 71 Mauser. All questions are based on this assumption.

			<description><![CDATA[ The dies are a very old set of C-H that I picked up used at a gunshow about 15 years ago . I have no idea if they are still made , or even made for both rifles
any more . They do say M-71 Mauser on them .   I am Glad to help and would not think too many people have done this type of load testing . Hunting with a M-71
and jacketed bullets at high velocity can not be too popular ? ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
What brand of dies are you using that are made specically for the Model 71? Are they still available?
<br>
<br>
And thanks to all for the good info and help that has been posted so far; even more will be appreciated.

			<description><![CDATA[ Blitz99,
<br>
<br>
Thanks for responding to this question. I have a nice little Kar.71 that was sporterized by a German guild smith a long time ago that I would like to take a
deer with. Your information will get met started.

			<description><![CDATA[ I have put alot of time in hunting load development for a M-71 short rifle . My bore is .433 land  -.454 groove . Here is what I have found . First I do happen
to have a set of dies made for the M-71 , not the 71/84 , and they are the correct size . You can use 45 colt dies to neck , expand and seat . RCBS are the
best as they have more of an adjustment range in them . I reset my rifles headspace when I started this and it has not increased with over 400 rounds fired . I
am using jacketed bullets and a &quot;hot&quot; load of smokeless . I have also checked my bore and it has shown no wear after 400 rounds . My best load has
been the Hornady .452 dia 300 grain xtp bullet with 36.2 of I-4198 for 1600 fps in 25 inches of barrel . A lighter load of 32.6 also does ok at 1500 fps . 39.6
of Reloader 7 has done 1650 fps . In load development I have fired the 300 grain bullet as fast as 2000 fps with no pressure signs , so I feel the 1500 to 1600
fps should be fine , 1600 fps  is what I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve used 777 in a 50/70 trapdoor and found to be a fine substitute for BP. As with all BP cartridges make sure you pack it leaving no air gaps (I use a
lubed overpowder wad). I don&#39;t believe 777 is non-corrosive, just that it cleans up with water. I make it a point of cleaning up as though I had shot BP
and use really hot water. Once the firearm heats up the water evaporates quickly makeing it much easier to clean. As always your mileage may vary.
<br>
I&#39;ve no experience with .450 dies or projectiles so I cant help you there.. Best of luck with that Mauser!

<br>
<br>
1. I don&#39;t have, or know, of any molds that throw an approximate .450 rifle bullet. I have an old Lee Minie Ball mold that casts at that diameter and about
295 grains. I thought of shortening the core pin a little to get the weight up to around 350 grains; and still leave a small hollow base to obturate and
possibly also hold a little lube? Any thoughts on this? Any other suggestions for a bullet to use?
<br>
2. All reloading dies and info I find suggest that they resize the neck to fit the .446 or.439 bullets... ]]></description>
