Why wouldn't one just drill & tap a case?

I have everything to make them. Just need your brass.

I have made them before but struggle with 223 base brass. 308 size no problem... my tools are Neanderthal.

Modified cases? How modified?
I use my case forming dies to do this.

Butch is right.

Everyone should own a set of button/bushing die set up. That and good lube and your never at the mercy of anyone for brass.

Modified from what to what?

Your size die can be used as a holding tool. If you have a drill press, the job is trivial and easy to run with a drill and tap. If you are used to work like this, a hand drill and vise are enough, along with the drill and tap.

So, do you need dies to make the cases or what? I may have Todd Kindler's email.

Making one from a case fired in your chamber (and not resized) will give you a better product. If you buy the tap and drill bit, you can make them for any other cartridges as well. If nothing else - it saves time waiting to get something.

I'm confused and that ain't hard. I didn't read that he was wanting to drill and tap a case for old "whatever" tool. Still looking for the OP to clarify what he wants.

He wanted a modified case (drilled and tapped) for his Hornady Over All Length tool in 20 TAC.

I guess, but still can't read that from his post. It ain't hard as I used to make mine until I found better ways to do it.

Single point it in your lathe. That tool uses a weird thread. Dont think a tap was readily available.

Walt, I think I got mine from McMaster-Carr.

The tap is nothing special. On Amazon you can get the drill and the tap with no fuss.

Not everyone is used to drilling and tapping threads. Some of us have literally drilled and tapped things by hand and by automation in the millions, so we forget what that is like for someone who has never done it.

A quick Google Search shows that this isn't a rare topic.

Yes...thank you for clarifying what I am looking for.
And thanks for all the help.
