    None of this stuff happens without conscious planning and taking action.
    It takes little effort to find a Wlson case holder and they do not cost much compared to new brass. That is why I made the suggestion.
    Spend 30 minutes and $12 and you can cut the rim off of thousands of cases if needed.

    15meter, I have done that on occasion but it is just a quick and dirty feed stop, still visual. I watch for the first rub then back off. This thread has gotten me interested in seeing just how it works on these cases. I know I will need to tweak the relief and back angle a bit. Gotta cut some to see.
    I am retiring soon so will no longer have a nice machine shop to piddle in. Time to look into the tabletop mini machines.

    Did you ever find the cutter?

    Still curious to see photos of your grind job.

    FWIW ..... The cases I did I did on a drill press with a triangle file and a 6.8 or 40 S&W shell holder in the vise on the table not lathe machinist grade by any means but more than enough to get cases in and out of the chamber .

    No, I apparently reground it to something else somewhere along the way. I have a lifetime supply of brass and got hooked on the 35 Remington. Just took another look and it be gone.
