I'm not in the shop today, but I'll scan it tomorrow if no one else has it today.

The original cartridge dimensions are given in "Cartridges of the World" by Barnes. The revised 71/78 cartridge for the repeating rifle. Has been lengthened .080. Apparently this was done so that the original single shot ammo could be used in the repeater. But not vise versa.

Years back, I was into the 19th Century BP military rifles.
Because of the BP fouling, many of their chamber and bore dimensions are way over sized. As compared to our modern cartridges. I would check the dimensions in the reference portions of COW, to see if you could utilize any other brass. I wouldn't be either buying or try to form any other brass. Until you do a chamber cast of the Beaumonts chamber, to see what the actual dimensions are.

There appears to be two versions of that cartridge too, so you might want to do a chamber cast and measure it yourself.
