    Sounds promising! Really looking forward to the rest of your progress. One of the most interesting projects I have seen for a while.

    Where did you get the un-crimped cases from? Do you know if you have even case wall thickness beyond the original shoulder?
    It looks impressive.

    Robbie is supplying the cases at the moment.

    I've cut a few open along the length and compared them the Norma cases and the wall thickness are the same. another interesting project is this one from the states using blanks too:

    Cases are made by Igman

    Pretty sure we're calling it a "223 Maxima"
