Magnum Wheel Man

Started out by getting a custom 401 Powermag cylinder made for my Buckeye Blackhawk... hmmm... where do you get 401 cases...
bought some new Starline 41 Magnum cases, machined about .010" off the solid case head just above the rim, swaged cases in a carbide 10 mm Die... had my machinist buddy make me a hardened steel die for forming, that gets the bottom of the case straight... had my buddy make me a tool to knurl & flatten the case head to remove the 41 Magnum headstamp... trim to length, & I was good, as my chambers are not recessed, so I can leave the 41 Magnum rim untouched...
then I had Dave Clements & Michael Gouse work on my 1st revolver I ever purchased ( a 4" Stainless GP-100 in 357 Magnum ) now an engraved 3" barrel in custom 10mm Rimmed chambering... which required breaking out my old tooling, & & buying some Starline 41 Special cases...
a couple pics if this works

Knurling & flattening produces this pattern on the case head
