Hello, I have joined the forum because I have studied this thread with great interest: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=34389&page=9. If the original participants are no longer interested I'll start a new thread. My interest is because I too have a Werder carbine and an M71 and wanted to load one or the other. After reading, I think I'll try the Werder using (initially) off-the-shelf components. Johanssen/Horneber cases, Swissicon #3, a .44 Lee crimping die and a sizing die if available. This project is at a very early stage because I haven't reloaded for about 40 years

My questions are:
- what available bullet or mould could I start with?
- what is the wad made of? I see reference to 'milk carton' but I'm not sure if that equals milk cartons in the UKicon today.
- Is there a satisfactory off-the-shelf melting lube for the 'cookie' under the bullet?
