My local retired machinist has turned both brass & steel cases for himself for obsolite cartridges, we were debating doing this for the 577 Snider, even though I have loading dies, because of the differences between chamber dimensions & the sizing die, along with excessive case capacity... but in the end, well at least so far, we have decided to drop that project... but it can be done if you get the full cartridge dimensions, but if you are hoping for a rigid case, a chamber casting would be better to work off of for exteriour dimensions anyway...
