Our cartridge work and experimenting got a nice write up in # 470 Nov/Dec International Ammunition Journal. Page 10-11 by Zach Weighman, a cartridge collector and gun nut friend. Got a guy just figured out BMG case rim, and for a rim puts on 12ga high base cup from a plastic case. He turns base/rim of bmg case about .008" and use JB Kwik to hold it on. Pushes it on with press. He removes base cup with heat gun from plastic cases, He is using RE17, so shotgun primers will work, and he puts bushing in case for primer. Has bushing reamed so the primer pocket protrusion on the base cup goes up inside tight, as he pushes on the base cup. It'll fire ok and to size it do like I do, I push case into open top die, and push it back out from the top with a rod and hammer. That way the rim don't get bent up. He says it saves a lot of time not having to make rim pieces. We will have more info and pictures next few weeks.Ed |
