If you also have the 30-30 its very easy to mistake the two.
But yes the work. Lee dies have a long taper expander and annealing helps.

35 Weiland because I have brass and dies.
40-82 WCF because I have brass and dies and a chamber reamer.
Definitely find the making in advance.

No one has mentioned bore size. My Marlin 1889 44-40 slugs at .4345. So it's not very user friendly. It won't chamber anything larger than .433. I don't like scrubbing lead and have modern 44-40s to...

I reloaded the original 1 fired 9mm brass I purchased 50 years ago, I believe I paid 3 cent a piece for them and shot them for the next 40 years. The same with 45 acp at 4.5 cent each. It was getting...

I have NOE , RCBS and lyman but they are all older. I'm not sure what is in current production.

I solved the problem by shooting revolvers . But for a while 9mm was cheaper to buy factory than to reload until a supply of brass was accumulated. It helps to start with clean shiny brass.

I found a Remington Roller on GunBroker several years ago. It was advertised as action parts with an obstruction in the bore. I was looking for an action at rhe time to build a 40-82WCF. I already...
Added another CZ TS 2. This one chambered in 40S&W to the collection. I've added a threaded 9mm barrel to make it a convertible 40S&W/9mm. Maybe add a suppressor at a later date. A 9mm barrel...

Yup you make 40-82WCF from 45-2.4. I built a Remington Roller in 40-82WCF and eventually found a Winchester 86 in the same. Winchester has a 30" octagon barrel. It has trouble cycling rounds from...

I looked at 9mm components today at midway and came up with around 44 cents to load a round + the powder of your choice and time. That was new brass and jacketed bullet +primers.

2 Uberti Scofields. A 5" nickle and a 7"blue. Both in 44-40. Unless I find a 44 Russian or a DA in 38-40 I think I'm done buying S&W top brakes.
