I looked.
This "kit" is $200 !!! And that's to load a dozen rounds the hard way.
I bought my brass (200 rounds), bullet mold, die set and other materials from: ALLISONMONUMENT@aol.com
You get a great deal more for roughly the same money, don't have to wait for it to come from overseas and the guy is great to deal with.

Live primers? I doubt this could be shipped from overseas..Jerry Burney

This is an international forum and I am sure that some European members might find this kit attractive...

Dave,

Thanks for the additional source.

It would be a whole lot easier to cut 44/40 or 38/40 cases to length, use .430" cast bullets intended for the 44Mag/Spc. and load with .44 Russian dies behind a compressed load of FFFg and a stardard large primer.
