Gents,

I just purchased a low wall from Whitey Hansen, barreled by J.D. Steele in .256 win mag. I should be receiving the rifle shortly, but I have had a hard time finding brass. The only formed brass I can find is Jamison and it is dear.

The thought has crossed my mind to form it from .357 brass. I thought I could use a cut off .30/06 die as an intermediate step and not have to buy a forming die. I figure I can buy 500 Winchester .357 cases for $100 or so and even with a high attrition rate I should save some money.

What say you? Any experiences? Concern? Derision?
