33 Poachers Pet

I'm started down another deep dark rabbit hole and I was curios as to whether or not anyone here has made this venture.  There was some discussion about this caliber 10 -15 years ago but it seemed to end without much ado.  My intent is to make the cartridge from 9.3x74R  - leaning towards black and depending how I feel at the moment making the reamer, set up will be for fixed and PP.  I gathered that it was a product of Ackley so not really a "vintage" cartridge but none the less I'm somewhat intrigued by it.

Would like to hear others thoughts... 
Greg

Art,
here's all I have so far (see attached pdf.)  The cause for some of this is I picked up and extra 33 cal octagon barrel at GM not real sure what my thinking was - the first is on a Fraser and if the second didn't get used it would get kicked around and end up on the bottom of the pile (hate it when that happens)  Sad
I have a set of mold blocks that are going to get finished for this caliber - I'm thinking an adjustable PP core to experiment with weight and length... not that it correlates to what a GG would shoot like exactly but it's a start.
