    I'm actually working on a flexible split chamber system to capitalise on people's FIU rounds , patent pending so I can't say too much other than it'll revolutionise intentional production of the FIU in any calibre...

    Now if I put it in a vice and tap the primer with a 4" nail, do you think the wrinkles in the shell would straighten or would my wrinkles be wrinkled? The black powder in the case must be severely crushed all 63 grains of it!
