I have a number of original Eley 500 Express cases which have deep primer pockets for the original two piece primers with the separate anvil.
Obviously, those primers are unobtanium and would be more collector items than users.
My question is, has anybody here swaged primer pockets in balloon head cases?
Can’t ream them for fear of thinning the pocket too much.
This brass uses a primer that is between a small and large in diameter and is deeper than modern primers but I could sleeve them to get a modern primer to the correct depth.
I know, a lot of work but I just like the idea of using these original cases in my Alex Henry 500 - that would be pretty cool.
