    Interesting thread. Never realized the differences in the leverevolution rounds. Gotta get out more.
    Thread drifted but let me add:

    Lee 459-405HB. Run it at high trapdoor, low medium loads in a single shot. Works.
    Finding suitable commercial seating stems for various bullet profiles I've casted has been a crapshoot.
    Modifying a sacrificial stem using epoxy and shaping it as needed has worked for me.
    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

    The ftx is designed to load pointed bullets in a tubular magazine of a lever safely . As Delkal says Round nose works just fine .

    Thank for all the answers people. Guess I'm best off just to buy a pack of virgin brass.

    Still need to size it. Quite often , the case mouths need to be trimmed square and to proper length.
    I don't speak English , I talk American!

    Thanks for the tip, I would have skipped sizing.
