tinker I can only believe that your gun is uncommon large. I have never had any problems with magtech brass, cant find that it "weak" or soft. I load 90 grain ffg in a 40mm long magtech brass case under a 480grain minie bullet. the bullet is resized from .585 to .605 in a home made hammer swage die to fit bore diameter. ![]() my chamber is so tight that I cant load a cut down magtech case. it needs a resizing work in another die to press it down on the case mouth from 15,60mm to 15,47mm. this is not so much but the brass won't load without. ![]() 28ga magtech brass, 50mm long with bullet and loaded cartridge, 40mm long case-loaded the 50mm brass is the original swedish version. I have try to load a long bullet in this case but the chamber is made for a roundball. I load the bullet in 40mm "german" brass with a .577 snider die. I have loaded some cases the 5.time now and it dont need another resize work. the brass is annealed and I dont believe that this is a wimp load! have a .24ga hammergun that accept 24. fiocchi plastik but is much to tight for the 24 magtech brass. I believe that the brass is 0,3mm to large on the base to fit the chamber. I turn this material from the base,anneal and resize the case in another home made die. than press it into a .577 snider die and I be able to fireform the brass. ![]() you fauneta pic is very interesting, I was believe before that the fanneta and explora magnum bore cartridge had have a very strong brass case.It looks very, very thin. seem's me that your inner paper case is a lot of work. will it stand against the black powder heat? I like to see some pics from your pinfire cartridges. have make such things some years ago. have shot 40mm cases in a 16 bore made from 18mm copper tupe in my wild days. that was when magtech brass was hard to obtain here. you can imagine what happen with such a loose fit. |
