Butch,
If you don't mind I can provide a link to this thread over on Lee Martin's Single Actions forum and I suspect someone there will have a need.

Not a problem ED. I sold all the factory Herters ammo a couple years ago. Couldn't figure out why the guy didn't want the brass that I had. Said he didn't reload, but what was he going to do after he shot up what he bought from me?

Excuse me but I believe it is the 401 'Powermag'; will shoot through an engine block, while the 44 mag won't... or some such statement, those Herter ads really appealed to me when I was a kid, It's a wonder I never bought one back then.
Bob, How does the 401 compare to the 41 mag case wise and ballistics?

Thanks for the help. I just gave the brass away to a forum member.

![[Linked Image]](http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/PaulsHerters401PowerMagdies11-26-2009.jpg) In 2009 my brother made his own 401 dies when someone died and he got a six shooter. I told him we could reload with my Lee 40sw/10mm carbide sizer die. He said his blood pressure hit an all time high. I have not talked to him about it since. I don't believe he ever found the right brass, and so would be using 30-30 or 41 mag brass.... if he ever did shoot it.
