I need to fireform some 9.5x47R to a unique 10.5x47R chamber. I tried a full case of 2F Goex under a wax plug but I think the wax didn't offer enough resistance (like none) and the experiment failed. I'm trying to think of what I can put in there to create enough resistance to fireform the case.
I have the Lyman .36 RB mold, but I can't think quickly of how I could crimp the top to hold them in place to create the pressure. I doubt the weight of even a couple of them would do the trick.
This chamber is a necked round with no real shoulder. There is a sinuous double curve instead, and it's a long one. Dave at CH4D said he'd seen nothing like it, and he's been in the business for a long time. Would fillers, maybe corn meal, work in a case like this?
This is for the combination gun that's been my project for some time now. I've got the brass, and the gun fires primers in both barrels. I'm still waiting on CH4D to get dies, or I'd simply neck up and crimp in one of the bullets I've designed.
Maybe use my combination bit to drill a tapered hole in some hard wood and drive this over the case? Make a crimp almost like a Russian Nagant pistol round?
Thanks.
