I've yet to fire mine but if I remmember correctly the cartridge was a low pressure round shooting lead bullets of approx 200 grains .

I'll get around to it soon hopefully .
Thru further research in the 10.75x65R Collath round I have found a better alternative . In actuality the 444 case will work but it's a hair short . The better alternative is to get new 405 WIN brass a set of CH4D dies and make the correct length brass ! If I'm not mistaken 405 brass is maybe 2/100's over length . So an easy trim job and runnign them thru the 10.75 expander and you ready to load . I typically size bullets for the 444 at .432" but the 10.75x65R Collath is supposedly a .424" . And again thats not a great problem I can run the same 200-225 grain bullets thru a .427" or .429" die and be fine with air cooled wheelweight alloy .
