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.
