Cool sections. They don't even look like they've been dropped.
Seriously, though. How do you ensure that you capture the Berdan primer flash holes in you sections? Look into the case and align them to mark where you're going to cut/grind? Rob |
| Am I right in thinking that all but the ball round are in steel cases? And I find it interesting that their early NATO AP/API rounds were Boxer primed... |

Very interesting.
I have to ask... with all these old cartridges, from possibly bad production control.... Do any of the cases have really bad corrosion or powder deterioration in them ? I guess I am asking if you have any "horror" stories ? |
