Reloading for .44 Evans Long

[orpington]

Does anyone know where brass and dies may be obtained for this round?

Here are specifications for reloading:

The original cartridges were loaded with 40 to 43 grains of black powder and lead bullets ranging from 275 to 300 grains.

Buffalo Arms stocks and sells many obsolete calibers.
