Virgins wouldn't even begin to chamber.(grin)

I left 'em at .014" per side and a CH of clearance. Will make another pass,once cases are formed and sized,as I don't like to get greedy on thinning false shoulders..............

Nope...me neither.






.018" wall thickness,is purty fucking impressive..................(grin)
Haven‘t needed to yet, but always wondered if I’d need to when doing a large reduction in neck size. Not something I’m looking forward to… My Alpha .22GT brass is pretty snug, but I guess thin enough to release the bullet ok. I can slip a bullet into the fired case with my fingers, but it does take a little pressure to do it. Must be loose enough, as I can’t see that it’s pressuring up any more than normal.

I've formed 1000's and 1000's of false shouldered cases and have never seen .018" wall thickness.

Alpha has been Skookum and my marked preference,when an option..................

I only turn for one, the 358wssm. I want 15-16 thou wall thickness. If I get down to 14 I lose enough neck tension to hold the bullet on compressed charges. Not likely to be of concern to you….
