Thread: 577-450 case forming

So @Rambo6mm has been visiting Akaroa for a long weekend away from the big city

He brought 577-450 dies and 50x Magtech 24 gauge brass cases for us to try case forming in my massive new RCBS rock chucker supreme press

Let's just say its a steep learning curve but easier in a fully resourced workshop

Made special mandrels for trimming and re trimming in the lathe

Lost a few cases early on to rookie mistakes
But we mastered the techniques over time and turned out 43 perfect cases from the 50 we started with

A couple of the rejects can become shorter Snider cases
A couple are just wrecked and cheap learning

The last 20 went through the system without a single failure

Sure its slow first time doing it
But a set of 50 cases will last a very long time

Looking forward to seeing these loaded and sending big bombs down range
