MikedaddyH Posted March 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Found some primed 9mm brass . Did one batch with CCI 500 primers and one with WIN WSP primers. I used some of my 357sig 142gr FMJ projectiles and 5.6gr of CFE Pistol. I tested this load a year ago and it was smooth and accurate with almost no recoil.

I'm just sayin'... Never been done after, either. That's a challenge. Next person up that does it - THEN there's something to answer to. Otherwise...

Just for you my Brother it is not pretty.. but works flawlessly Kinda like me.... lol yes bolt gun but my way of loading will be same for 6.5 CM just have to work out how much crimp will effect neck tension will have both with me this fall. annealer made from a cake pan, a wiper motor ,a few scraps of wood and aluminum and a twelve volt power supply and a rheostat from Ebay to control RPM,s on motor feeds one at a time from the ramp on the right side and cases fall out bottom into whatever it adjusts in and out from 223 to like 300 win mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two speed battery operated drill a deep socket to fit your case so that about half the case sticks out turn on a propane torch, then put case in socket, spin on low speed with case right at tip of flame just as it starts to glow red dump case out of socket into tin pan rinse and repeat it takes about 6 mississippi to get there your torch may be different but just as case NECK starts to glow red..... REMEMBER JUST AS IT STARTS TO GLOW RED dump it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
