I put together some Match clones today using TM 43-0001-27. All I had in brass was some once fired Federal Gold Medal that I uniformed the flash holes on. I have a jug of surplus IMR 4895 and 168 SMK, so it was a pretty easy build. The flash holes needed quite a bit of work, so we'll see how they do later this week.
Here's the data, if you don't have access to the TM.
