Hi All.
I am looking to make a few wildct cartridges, 375jdj, 358jdj and 357Harrett.
I have all 3 calibers for my T/C Contender. I have dies for all 3 also.
Is there any books and or videos on how to make them.
I found sights where I can buy new brass in thoes cailbers for about $6.50 for one.
NO WAY!!!.
Thanks

Go here for the JDJ, just a simple size and go. - http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php?topic=233372.0

The Herrett is the hard one of these. Trim it long to start with (can always cut more off, can't put it back on). Follow the same method for the 444 for size the case until it will close with a small bit of work. Trim the length to fit your chamber. I think the Nosler manuals had good directions on making the case.

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

Another family of cartridges that you look at are the GNR. I just had a barrel reaming to a 350 GNR and should get it back next week. This is a 405 Winchester necked down to .358. If you're interested I'll let you know how she shoots when I get to the range.
