I never cease to be amazed by the breadth of my hobby.
I have had a client for years with an obsession for true large bore cartridges (700 NE, 700 NE rimless, 577 Tyrannosaur....) and have always enjoyed visiting with him and shooting his rifles (enjoy is perhaps the wrong word!!!) L. But I just found out that a long time client is waaay off the map in the opposite direction. He noticed that I had a box of 300 PRC brass on my counter that had been shipped to my office and struck up a conversation and an invitation to visit his workshop which houses the most incredible assortment of tiny caliber firearms that I can imagine.
Everything from reforming 22 Magnum brass into 12 caliber, 30 carbine to 17, historical examples of 2mm cartridges, and on and on!
His dedication to his craft is amazing, his swaging operation is definitely intense (he did say he had tried casting, but grew tired of watching lead vapor from his barrel). I thought making 6mm Lee Navy or 351 WSL was a challenge until seeing that!!
My wife rolled her eyes as I told her about the evening - guessing that she's seeing another project in my future.
I am looking forward to my next visit to this wonderful place!
Does anyone on this forum have any experience with the tiny cartridges?
