What was the first brass you converted

[pworley1]

43 Beaumont from 50 90 sharps.

[Four Fingers of Death]

8mm from 3006, closely followed by 358Win from 308Win

[TXGunNut]

32Spl from 30-30 and then 35 Whelen from 30-06. Both very simple but the 32Spl's were a bit short. I'd rather use correct headstamp brass for hunting ammo but it's good to be resourceful.

[jj850]

first was .221 from 5.56. then .357 herrett from .30-30. 6mm Ackley from 7x57 mm, latest is 7mm ihmsa from .308

[jjnpg317]

30-06 to 250-3000 30-06 to 7x57

[Four Fingers of Death]

I think a couple of 44Mags into 44/40 when I loaded some cowboy 44Mag loads into my Uberti and fired them. They fed rough, but fired and extracted ok. Thank goodness I don't let any of my full strength 44loads anywhere my cowboy ammo and also mark them well.

[tangolima]

.30-06 to 7.7 Jap.

-TL

[bob208]

first was 7.65 mauser from .30-06
7.62 mauser from .223

[DTruck]

First was .40S&W to .357Sig

[barrabruce]

First would have to have been 22lr balloon r's.
Fire fromed an old well maintained winchester 1901 if I recall.
Then I progressed to the 12 guage that was ""till allright to shoot" which the cases would make a tink sound if you raised or lowered the muzzle but were had to extract.

Maybe 22 khornet
then 303-25 from 303
38-55long down to 30-30 so they fit in my lonnnnng neck chamber.

[Charley]

I don't remember. So many now, they all run together.

[1Shirt]

222 from 223, and 270 from 06.
1Shirt!

[RustyReel]

I'm kinda like Charley, been a lot over the years. My first may have been 9mm Mak from 9mm Luger, back when 9mm Mak was somewhat rare, at least in my neck of the woods.

[freebullet]

I tried to convert my thumb in to a decapped 9mm case. Thankfully the conversion failed.

[Bad Water Bill]

OUCH

That hurts even reading about it.

[Roy Acuffff]

7.65 Mauser from 30-06, then 9mm mak from 9mm and 300 AAC from 5.56

Roy

[badbob454]

44 special from 44 mag , 9mm makarov from 9mm Luger, 358 win from 308, then 8mm Mauser from 30-06.
but thousands of the makarov , i permanent mark the brass so it is easily recognizable when picking it up off the range ..

[Bad Water Bill]

A challenge for our poter folks.

Several years ago someone posted several chemicals you could safely dip your brass in and just what color you could expect.

Have at it folks.

[Rockzilla]

Noticed a few Herrett fans and one .44 Auto mag.

Herretts here also I remember the instructions.."adjust the die till it just
goes shut with a snap. .44 Auto mag from .308 brass.

I remember going through that "snap" fit with the Herrett, really loved shooting that in the T/C, I learned a lot just loading & shooting that cartridge.
