Excellent presentation of both calibers & always interesting finding out how to repurpose older calibers...Very well done & hope there's more instructive presentations like this.
Yes I had to inside neck turn some cases .Quote:

The 25 RF is a very small case and forming it from 22 Hornet means there is a lot of brass being moved around.
So neck thickness was always going to be an issue.
Hi Akaroa 1
My lead 44 grain 25 cal slug projectiles slide in firm ,but the .257 [25 cal ] 60 - 75 grain jacketed are a tad tight
did you use an adjust. reamer to open the case slightly [more towards the primer end as the case tapers slightly internal .
How are you getting along with your casting and coating process
Cheers
Yes I had the correct adjustable reamer from removing 6.5mm doughnuts
Cheers for that update Akaroa 1 found a 6.5 mill and did my lot
just need to anneal the again after all the work of thinning the necks
THANKS to Akaroa 1
I was having eject issues in my 25 Long build [using 22 Hornet cases reshaped ] i reached out for some help from a forum member and with his kind wisdom i now have a working gun . it still need to do work with the best loading etc
Thankyou again cheers
