well I'm getting going a little bit on the XCB rifle.
I went down to get out the old 7X57 Rem cases I had stashed for making my Ackley and ICL cases from.
and was wishing I had something else to work with, when I remembered I had 2 boxes of Hornady's 275 Rigby stuck in a box somewhere in the brass cabinet.
after some digging around I found them in a box under some 375 win brass so now what to do with them.
I need to neck them up somehow.
I could just champher the mouths and do the normal case prep then shove them over the long tapered spud in the Hornady neck size die.
I could drag them over the size spud in the rcbs full length die [which is gonna happen at some point anyway]
I could dig out the spud I use to open 5.7 cases to insert the cores.
or I could try some fancy fire forming dealio using up some pistol powder and some grains of some sort.
which one is going to be the better option?
I would like to keep them at least halfway straight.
