RE: 40-50 sbn - Don McDowell - 09-09-2013
What are you using for base brass? If I recall Dean S. said he was using 303 brit.
RE: 40-50 sbn - powderburner - 09-09-2013
45-70 brass and run it through a sizer die , cut it off and chamfer the mouth ,then fireform
sounds like Mr. Scoggins is using the 40-50 straight , it is a cut down 40-70 ss.
RE: 40-50 sbn - Don McDowell - 09-09-2013
He could of been using the straight design, don't rightly recall much but the little mousefart pop it made when the thing went off.

RE: 40-50 sbn - Don McDowell - 09-09-2013
Sounds like it might do pretty well when you get the cases formed and get down to some serious load development.
