It looks like I'll have to butcher the Morse taper adapter I have. Once I get the brass sized in the adapter I'm going to have to tap it back out with a mallet and dowel so I'll have to cut off the tang end to put the dowel through. I may also run out of depth before I get the taper right so I may have to shorten the adapter's wide end too. Not a big deal... I got the adapter with something I bout 15 years ago and I've never used it so I'll call it free.
In prep for my bullets arriving, I made up a little lube. From what I've read, the standard lube in the day was a 50/50 mixture of lard and beeswax. I had a jar of my own bear lard and a bunch of wax from my own bees so here's my bee/bear bullet lube.
