I load ammo and shoot mine all the time .
I have one original round...
A leftover from Granddad.
But I never fired a Glisenti yet.
Still have to go see my Aunt to retrieve all the old handguns Grandpa left around.
But I've got the Carcano 91

Ideal time to visit to check on her health, etc. And 'while I'm here' conversation.

I use reject .44-40 brass shortened to length loaded with 777 and a Hornady .427" knurled 200 gr bullet(for .44-40 but too small for my .44-40 rifles)
I thumb seat the bullets on top the powder charge then squeeze the cartridge into a .30-40 Krag sizing die with the decapper rod removed. This sizes the case down and grips the bullet in place. Other sources say to use .44 mag or special cases but these don't fit the chambers of my old revolver as well as .44-40 modified brass
