    I re formed 24 gauge magtech brass to 577 Snider yesterday

    Will take it to Vulcan barrels tomorrow as inspiration to start on my two new 577 1:25 twist barrels

    Magtech formed nicely into 577 Snider
    Process is
    Cut to 51mm
    Anneal
    Form in full length die with plenty of lube
    Clean
    Re anneal
    Re cut to final length. Brass was 0.75mm longer from being formed

    Have two more boxes of 25 to form to snider so need to find an easier way to cut to length than using the lathe
