	Would someone with 40-50 SS forming dies be willing to form me 10 cases? I will supply the Krag brass.

	I have this caliber in a Ballard. I'll be breech seating, so I figured 10 should last me.

	It's very simple to fire form .30-40 Krag or .303 British brass in the chamber, and then trim it to length to get the .40-50SS cases made. I did this to make all of my .40-50SS brass without owning a die set. I did finish the fire formed cases off by using my Lyman M die with a .410" expender plug before using them.
