I have a friend on this forum that just got a 450-400 3.25" NE. That's probably in the top-5 most common NE cartridges of all time. (Pity it wasn't in the top-3 or he'd have easy access) He's struggling to find brass and I think he mailed away to Australia for a set of dies that were dusty on a shelf. Multiply the challenges many fold for a less known NE caliber and its a trail of tears.
Boy, this friend of yours sounds really familiar ;)
 
It only gets harder from where you’re presently at! :-)
Fortunately, I was able to get a regular set of dusty dies and a specialty trim die from CH4D. I also found 160 pieces of unfired brass in Australia at the same time :)

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
