I have a Dan Theodore design Manson reamer -marked 40-72 Hybrid.
It is based on the 405 Hornady brass to be used full length.
No freebore and has a 1.5 degree per side Leade/throat.
Still a "GG" straight neck diameter.
We had my friend's Shiloh 40-70 chamber "freshed out" so he
immediately could use the 405 Hornady brass.
Also, my Ruger No 1, is rebarrelled with a 12 twist Douglas barrel,
same chambering for the 40-72 DT hybrid , using the 405 H brass.
They work very well with my DDEPP -two diameter PP bullets
or my two diameter GG bullets.
The shorter 371 gr for friend's 16 twist Shiloh and the long 1.54" DDEPP for
the 12 twist Ruger.
