Thanks, Patrick!
The full sizer die for the M71 really does squash it down to what I´m sure is about 0.5 mms.
The cavalry carbine doesn´t have a dovetailed front sight, it´s part of the sight protector/nosecap.
I thought of using two paper targets (one beneath the other), and this works at 25 metres. But I have to aim way too low at 50 (was thinking of making myself a slip-on front sight just for trial purposes).
I haven´t got my bp license yet (the course is in Oct.) but have prepared the cases. Needed to expand the case mouth in order to take the bullets ... but now need a crimper to to get the shape back.
Think I´ll just progress to the 300 metre range at Wannsee and see what happens.
Still waiting for the Werder cases from Buffalo Arms.
Patrick
