    re-reforming

    Awhile back I bought some 32 20 brass to reform to Nagano revolver cartridges. I did NOT mess with them in any other way. Now as fate (the mother of the crystal farie) has ět I got a 32 20 rifle and can't find brass but got plenty of cheap Nagant surplus. I want to re-reform the brass back to 32 20 with the small Lee dipper of War 231 and a 115 grain boolit. Comments?

    I don't see why it wouldn't work, as long as you didn't trim the brass when converting it the first time (I have never made Nagant brass).

    I would try a few first to see how it goes, you might need to do a light anneal before fireforming.

    You shouldn't have any problems. I've taken 223 down to 17 cal and later made them into 20 cal. I did anneal. The more you work brass the more it work harden. You're not moving the brass much.
