Failed Cartridges

You missed the “blank”. Using the right style blank gives you a donor case longer than the parent cartridge. Comes in handy some times for wildcats or obsolete cartridges.

That brings black memories.

I had big plans for the 30 AR

The 7.54321 MM Biden-----when you pull the trigger, it forgets to go off !

I even went so far as to fire firm 458 SOCOM out of the brass that got to short for the 308 family. They looked like a bloated dolphin and they were only good for one firing but with the price of 458 SOCOM then and now, it was worth it.

On some of them I could get 2 firings but the problem is the primer pockets would loosen up. Every time you fire the brass tries to firm to the chamber and trying to form that square shoulder at the head I just to much movement for the primer pockets to withstand. I could maybe annealing that area to allow easier movement but right now I have other projects.

I'm pulling all my 55 and 58 grain bullets out of my 243 ammo and using them in my 6x45. I'm getting real good velocities out of them. Then I'm putting 90 grain CX bullets back in the 243 cases. .
