Paul,

Yes, I have a batch of Danes too.  I have been reloading for years  now.  I have used different cases, some reformed from 45-70 cases, some 7.62x54R, recently using 8x56R with some success.  Dies from CH-4D are good but quite expensive.

I was just out shooting a heavy barreled target sporter yesterday.  I have to work on the front sight a bit and try it again.  I found this one will only chamber spitzer bullets, not any round-nose ones.  They can sometimes be a bit finicky.  I do love shooting them, though!!!

If you decide to get into it, I have some loads that I use that I will share with you.  Then again, if it costs too much, and you get frustrated, I will take those Danes off your hands!!   :-)

Best,
Tom
