well i'll back up rockys statement on the fire forming. my gunsmith and i got a wild hair one day about a long range 22 cal cartridge.

it was a 8mm mauser case necked down to 22 cal. i neck sized the 8mm case down to make a false shoulder then fireformed the case to blow out the shoulder to the 40* it was supposed to be and fill the chamber. one critical error, i used nickle cases. no matter how i changed the powder charge the cases would either not form or they would split. i lost 75% of my cases.

i have only reloaded the 7mm mauser cases i refered to earlier 4 times and i neck size only. i've never experienced a problem with them.....yet.

the pistol carts are self explanatory. so far no problems.
