If you can find .348 brass. Scarce, not too commonly found, and expensive when you do. And so are reloading dies. It would be nice if someone made a production run of .348 brass for the benefit of all those having Winchester Model 71 rifles and/or those who re-form brass for obsolete black powder cartridges.
