I am picking up a Model 1910 tomorrow and have been researching quite a bit about the 401 WSL. I know ammo is tough to find and expensive (both original and new). There are several methods from buying factory brass and expensive bullets (when available) to forming your own. One method in particular has caught my attention. This method involves annealing the case and using a tapered expander to neck up 7.62x39 brass to fit a .406" bullet. Then using a bullet reducing die on .410" .41 magnum bullets to reduce them to .406". Does anyone have experience using this method? How were your results? Even if you only used the brass I am interested. This method appeals to me because of the price and availability of components.
Now to the second part, I reload already but the cost to get setup to reload (dies, plugs, reducer die, brass and bullets) will be close to $250. I don't want to invest that up front if the rifle has issues and I would like to test run 5-10 rounds first. If you have any cartridges and don't mind parting with them I would be willing to pay a fair price. I checked all the usual sites but there seems to be a premium placed on the cartridge boxes. PM me and let me know. Thanks
