I had a original Auto-Mag back in the mid 70 when the cartridge was still a wildcat round and prior to the intro of the 357 AM. I cut quite a bit of my dads 308 down to make brass until he put his foot down. I had a trim die (I don`t recall the brand) and used a hacksaw and file to cut it. The pistol was very accurate but had problems with ammo that wasn`t up to near max or max pressures, you could not down load a cartridge for this gun. IRCC I used a Sierra 180gr HP with 30 gr of H110 in a cut down 308 case. for 90% of my shooting. I sold it to a buddy like a fool and have kicked myself ever since.

Brass sould be reltively easy to make. I would cut it with a tubeing cutter, a hair long and trime it an a case trimer. I use a Layman trimer with an elect screw driver for trimming cases. It`s alot faster and more accurate than useing the crank. You could also use any of the cases with the standard .473 case haed and body dia. ie. 06 .308, 243, 22-250 ect.
