Edgar, I would love to have some 11.15 if you care to part with them. I have not seen one before. I will PM.

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 .

I made brass cases for my .410 by buying a box of Hornady 9.3x74R brass from Cabelas and fire forming them in the .410. They are just a hair short of 3" when completed. Might be just what you need for your 10.75x65R.

I was reading an edition of "Cartridges of the World" and they claimed 405 WCF was the best and easiest choice . And since Hornady makes that brass also . And looks as if the 9.3x74R is gonna need a bit more trimming . Also a bit more opening since it's .366 caliber and the 405 is .405 that needs to come open to about .422" or so .

Or you could buy .410 brass.

Edgar, I received your wonderful cartridges today. I put them into my great Sauer driller and they fit just great. They are some beautiful cartridges. Now I have some incentive to drive out the hard cast lead bullet that I drove into the forcing cone with the intent of finding out the true bore diameter. I am not much of a rifle guy and I didn't understand that there were hard cast and soft cast bullets. I have not looked at the Sauer for a few months, and today I realize that this could be my "do all" woods gun. It has just wonderful barrel blue wear on the left barrel and sling wear ahead of the front swivel that I have not seen before. Most guns have "abuse wear" that can't be explained. This gun shows no abuse whatever except a poor repair of a forend crack.
