After shooting my Beaumont rifle I noticed that the cases needed to be resized.
I do not have the necessary funds to buy an original Beaumont die set.
They are about $300.00 USD over here.
Then I heard that a .45 Colt die set would do the job too.
I borrowed the .45 Colt die from Rene (Dutch Sako).
It was just collecting dust at his place.
I think it worked out quite well.
Made some pictures of it.
The case comes out of the Beaumont like this.
Resizing step 1.
Resizing step 2
Resizing step 3.
Resizing step 4.
From left to right.
1) Case the way it comes out of the Beaumont
2) Resized with the .45 Colt die set
3) Case belled so it can accommodate the 340 gn .457 Beaumont bullet.
Priming the cases using the RCBS press instead of the LEE auto-primer.
Primed and unprimed case.
Looking good.
Resized using the .45 Colt die
Didn’t cast this one myself.
I will start casting some .457 bullets for the Beaumont this weekend.
I’ll make some pictures of it and will post them in here.

, but it is just plain fun to shoot it.
