There was a guy in Maine named Pomeroy who redrew 30/40 cases to 35WCF length. Anybody doing that now?

I've fired about 200 in an H&K P7. Absolutely no problems seating the primers or firing them. Firing pin indentations are not as deep as with Winchester primers.

I used 1917 and 1918 cases and had no problems. However I did anneal them before use.
I did have trouble with some Peters 30/06 cases. Supposedly they were made in the early 1920s. Each case...
