Advanced Cartridge Conversion Part 3

[PRACERZ]

Question for you. Is there a data base somewhere, where a newbie like me can find out what cases can beconverted to what case ? Or can you point me in the right direction? Thanks for your vids, always great !! Merry Christmas !

@PRACERZ Yes!! A book called Cartridge Conversions. It's an older book but is a wealth of information.

would it be suggestable to turn a larger pilot on a lathe to work for your 9.3? perhaps a 10mm/40sw?

[ammosmith]

@SacoreyRugger I use a .375" expander ball then I size the neck to .366"

[SacoreyRugger]

@ammosmith i see, so you are right about 9mm when you are trimming

I read how to do it, I have some 303 brass, but no 303, annneal the case in hot lead to just below the shoulder, drop in cold water, load with pistol primers and 8 grains Herco and fill the rest of the case with cream of wheat, fire, presto, a fire formed 410 case

[rchester1943]

would you do a .303 british to a .410 shotshell

[ammosmith]

@rchester1943 Never tried it. They sell brass shot shells now at a good price too.

I have been watching this series of videos, and I was looking at what I have. I am trying to find a csse that I can reduce in to 7.62x39, but I am having trouble finding one with a comparable base that would work. do you have any suggestions on what might work? Tahnks

[SacoreyRugger]

@pryitfromycoldeadhan i would say buy wolf ammo, for 6 bucks a box,

[ammosmith]

I plan on shooting wet telephone books.

[imacf90]

so just cuz they look kinda bad, after you shoot it'll look like it should?

[ammosmith]

Yes! Fireforming takes the case and irons out all the wrinkles. Just make sure the case is fully supported by the chamber.

[ammosmith]

When I get the green light from the local gun club I'm going to do a few range sessions to show the fireforming process. Did you see the cases I had already fireformed? You'll lose a few of them but in the process you get more than you lose.
