    I've been thinking about that 35x57 'cat. The case should have enough capacity to shoot 280's well over 2000.
    The selection of heavy .378's is pretty impressive though.
    What's the problem with...

    Best CB cartridge?

    No definitive answer, of course, but I'm wondering what some of you folks consider the "ideal" cartridge for shooting cast boolits. Another way to frame it is, what case will shoot your favorite...

    Nice work. I keep looking at a K31 at the store. Not sure I want to get into another chambering, but it would give some life to my unused 30-cal stuff. Haven't found any reasonable sources of brass...

    Well, the difference in body length of the 9x57 and the Whelen is .1291" so it all depends on how short you make your FLS die when you set up the "go" guage. The case I was describing (2.365") would...

    Just goofy enough to peak my interest. I have a glue gun. I have moulds. I have cases and primers. I even have a pistol! Dang, have to go buy a cardboard box. Maybe U-Haul?

    Sure, GLB. Just threw the "AI" thing out there as a possibility. I was otherwise referring to the original idea. Seems that case length with a Whelen-length neck would really be more neck than you'd...

    From what I've heard tungsten is incredibly hard to work with. Microscopic particulates that hurt your lungs, and any that get into hinges, etc., wreak havoc.

    On second thought, further beauty of this idea is that you could really cut the chamber and grind the dies right around the bullet you want to shoot. Grind the die down to where the base of the neck...

    I really like the idea. It could easily be done in AI versions as well, since the reamers for 30- and 35- cal aren't all that rare.
    If you figure COL of 3.10", a case length of 2.24" you could have...
