Glad to see this old thread revived.

FWIW, I've found 375 RUM cases reformed in a 404J sizing die to be a practical way to source practice brass. These are getting harder (impossible?) to find, but I lay in a supply several years ago and still use them. 404J basic cases also turn up form time to time and are a good investment.

For the OP: Bob, did you ever get that 404J built?
