    Some Necked Down WW 45-70 Cases

    shoulder is 1.4" from the bottom of the base

    shoulder diameter is right at .476"

    neck outside diameter is .412"

    These were for fire forming in a 9.5x52R. However, the project was stopped by the circumferential stretching being too much for the WW alloy and temper. Remington alloy yeah, Winchester no.
    So, here's these 32 pieces of brass. They will not withstand being popped back out to use in my 375x45-70.
    If any yall have a 45-70 based cartridge that these could be further formed to become what you shoot, and you would like to have what would amount to 32 pieces of partially formed brass, give a yell.

    Could these be annealed and then further formed?

    Good Cheer,
    Do you have any dimensions for the 9.5x52R cases? I can't find anything on this cartridge, and believe I may have a gun in this chambering?

    I have a 40-70BN - but I don't need the brass. If the Kid needs them he is first.
