Steve,
The build was wonderful, but I want to ask about the 38-55 McPherson Express brass you use. I make cases for some obsolete cartridges I load for from original length 38-55 (2.125-130") cases, the current length of 38-55 cases is 2.080", the same as 30-30. Even the original length cases are up to 1/16" short, depending upon how much they lengthen during sizing. My question is, how long is the 38-55 McPherson Express case? Are they a special-order case and if so, what is the minimum order?
Mike
I buy them from Starline brass and they are 2.125 inches long plus/minus a few thousands of an inch. The following links will provide info helpful to your endeavors.
