I shot one years ago in Palmerton North. Not mine and you had to return every fired case after shooting it.
Cases were formed from anything with the .473 case head size.

Hi Systolic

You had to return the cases because they are rare?? For reloading??

Not rare, but the owner had to make all his reloadable cases. It cost him quite a bit of money to import the dies.

Anything with the .473 case head size like the .308, 8x57mm, 30.06 worked, but he had to individually cut, form, trim and, I think, neck turn each case.

Factory ammo, except for a few surplus military rounds, was impossible to get.

It makes the HMGunworks rejig look like a good buy. Not the history behind it, but at least the ammo is a lot easier to come by so not so much pain reloading.
