Anyone reloading for the 356GNR?

I been thinking about have my 9mm Blackhawk cylinder rechambered for the 356 GNR...that cylinder's never been used by me (bought it used and have no use for a 9mm wheel gun), it's cheaper than than buying a new revolver and I want something for camping and hiking with a little more power than a 357.

Other than necking down the 41 brass and seating the bullet correctly, are there any quirks to it that would make it a difficult process? Other than needing the dies, brass and primers; the ability to use bullets I already have on hand for 38/357 is appealing to me. I assume the same powders I using already would be fine.
