You are in luck! I have an Argentine 1879 Rollingblock chambered in 11 mm Mannlicher and, I reload for and fire this rifle at least once a week. I would like to start by saying that you have received some great imformation starting with, A Chamber Cast Is A Must.
History: These rifles were first chambered for the 43 Spanish.In the early 1880's Argentina adopted the Mauser bolt action and Remington was left with an over run that remaind in storge until 1950. At that time a large amount of 11 mm MANNLICHER ammo was available and so Remington re-chambered ONLY 300 rifles for sale to the private market.
Reloading: It required over 2 1/2 years of reserch to locate all the imformation and material to re-load for this rifle so, let me short-cut it for you. Start by contacting "Buffalo Arms",(on the net). They are the best source for material I have found.
You will need 43 Spanish bullets at 385 gr.
You need 348 winchester brass. This brass has a slightly lower shoulder but this is corrected by firing the cartridge. The brass will strech to fit and will not harm the brass or chamber.
You will need Large Rifle Primers.
Your re-loading dies will be for the 11mmx58R Werndl with shell holder. These dies are not perfect and will require some modifacation.
And, GET A BOOK ON HOW TO RE-LOAD BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGES!
My best load: 75 gr. of FF Black Powder with a filler or greese cookie.
A filler,(corn meal), is used to top off the case so that when the bullet is ceited it compress's the powder.
A greese cookie,(wax paper toped by 1/8 in. mixture of 60% vasaline and 40% bees wax), can be used as a filler.
I use the greese cookie to keep the fouling soft and easy to clean.
The sights on your rifle are concidered some of the finest ever set on a longe range rifle and long range sooters will pay big bucks to get their hands on them.
