1. Lathe cutting the 'Brass Roll' off the Formed Hornet Brass.
(Delayed as My friend's Lathe is not available at the time, being used for other Projects.)
2. Reform the 5.7x27 expanded neck cases to 6.35x32mm sizes.
(Done, and an additional 200 Started into the Process.)
3. Continue neck/shoulder expansion of the Remaining 5.7x28mm cases.
(Added another Batch of 1000 5.7x28mm cases to my "hoard", now over 2000 Cases on hand.)
4. Continue refroming the 5.7x28mm into 6.35x32mmSR.
(Yes, it is a continuing Project and Process while waiting for two Custom Lee Dies to arrive: one a Longer Seating only die to ease guiding the Cartridge and bullet in for Seating to a Known Overall Cartridge Length; and the other a intermediate Step Forming die, in .284" diameter, to try to equalize the Forming steps and forces.)
In the Mean Time, The "6.35x28.6mmSR Stewart" Cartridge is now Listed in the Ammoguide Cartridge Master data base as their number 958 entry. The Diagram will need 'Tweaking' as it is 'too Simplified' in my opinion. the Case Base has an Extractor Clearance Groove the same as the 5.7x28mm parent and the Forming leaves a short tapered area just above the Base, shown on the diagram for the "6.35x32mmSR Stewart" case which this one is a Shortened version of. This "base taper" is a result of Forming die Geometry and is present on all formed Cases of this series.
These are 'Keeping me out of Trouble' during the Local Hot and Cold spells, interspersed with Rain/Thunderstorms and Windy times. Also Had a total of Six days over Two weeks Work Calls through my Union dispatcher to keep me Busy. The 'Take Home Pay' is Very Useful for paying my Bills and as 'Discretionary Spending funds' in my 'retirement'.
