.41AE by .41Mag?
Can anyone with certainty tell me if you can use .41mag dies to load .41AE?
41AE dies are hard to come by, seems there are plenty of .41mag dies out there. Anyone? thanks in advance [email protected] |

No, You Cannot Do It Correctly.
I've seen used 41AE die sets at gun shows for five bucks because no one wants 'em. Keep looking...
A conglomeration of a 41MAG sizer, a reshaped 41MAG expander, and a shortened 41MAG seater can get the job done but it is a serious PITA. |

Lee makes dies for the .41AE. If you can't find them at Midway, Natchez or your favorite mail order outfit try ordering them directly from Lee.
Of course you can get higher priced ones too if you want.
