    Forming 7.62x45 brass

    Lots of old posting on various sites.
    What is the latest wisdom on making 7.62x45 brass
    Thanks

    Donnelly says to start with .220 Swift brass. After looking at all the steps I'm glad I didn't buy one of those rifles, neat as they are.

    The RCBS forming die sets have base forming dies to make them from .308 brass. This would be a really tedious process.

    I think you would be better off starting with PPU 7.35 Carcano brass which did not exist when the case forming books were written.
    .35 Remington is another candidate.


    Here is a thread on another forum
