OK. RRB #2 for me. #1 is the custom built 45-70 on the Husqvarna Swede RRB. Loving it.
#2 is an Argentine Infantry rifle in 43 Spanish. Original mostly. tang is d&t'd for tang sight- which I love on a heavy lead ball pumpkin launcher for long range! It will get the tang sight for sure.
So... whatcha got info wise? Have Lee dies. Access to bullets/molds/will get own molds. Need brass. Looks like Starline 50-110 brass can be formed. See it is formed into 44-77 brass, which can be formed into 43 Spanish. And the 50-110 formed 44-77 brass comes in .085" rim thickness, and the 43 Spanish is supposed to be originally .090" rim thickness. .005" shouldn't matter - too much. Need to confirm that the Starline 50-110 has .085 or greater rim thickness. Savings for this is almost $3/piece vs "43 Spanish" brass!
Looking to load 3031/RL7/5744/maybe 4198/4895. All with ~385 grn bullet. Pet loads?!
