    why are you going to use the 100 to go to the 40-82 ? the 90 brass itself will have to be trimmed after forming. depending on wall thickness of the 100, plus how much you are squishing in, the walls might need turned or reamed

    and if you are simply making 40-82, why would you need a 45-90 die ?

    I know what it is, I have one. CH4D makes the actual die set for a 40-82 Crossno. If you get yourself a diebody and decapper, it will work for a lot of cartridges.

    If you make a mixture of anhydrous lanolin and castor oil, and rub it on the cases by hand (after one or 2 you will figure out how much you need) and then size a little, rub around, size a little, rub the lube, you will get nice formed cases without any lube wrinkles.

    also (you might already know this) if you anneal the cases before you size them down, that will help in preventing the wrinkles and creases.

    how many times were the 45-100 cases fired ?
