Re: excuse me, I bought an assault rifle

last time I stopped with the question if its possible to make bullets for the 401 WSL with improvised equipment at home.
ok, lets try it. only once fired 9mm Parabellum brass for free is worth the troubel. it measure +/- 9,89mm at the base so I was trying to expand the case body at least over 10,34/.407

9mm parabellum brass
RCBS 9mm neck expander
home made neck expander


like before
RCBS 375 NE2,5" neck expander in the 9mm para die


my homemade 407 swaging die
the 9mm para brass is running first time through it


124 grains 8mm bullet ready to load
was the best I had at home! 9mm bullet cast from pure lead would be much better choice



and back from meeting the famous rockchucker


the simple homemade tool
made with a 10,5mm drill


sized a second time and ready to load. a dummy round works fine in the action


we will see if its able to hit something. worth the trouble? I dont now but at least I can become independ.
