Well, I annealed the top third of 5 cases this morning, primed them, and loaded them with 30 gr. FFg with a tight fitting plug of rolled up paper towel on top of powder, tamped down tight. Results were less that what I desired, even though I got very good ignition and burn. The necks did not expand completely to chamber diameter. They did expand somewhat, maybe one-third the amount needed.

Next I will re-anneal these 5, load with the same charge of FFg, use a shorter paper plug/wad, fill the case with grits, and seal the case mouth with a wax plug. Results to come .......


May God bless America and those who defend her.
