Wow that is awsome. I looked at the primer bushing with interest as i have been doing something similar with stainless bushings in 50 BMG brass for a wildcat i am working on. A bit of a work in progress.

Impressed by the determination and work that went into it, but I'm a little concerned by all the machining and screwing around with the brass.

Too many small pieces of brass cut, reshaped, thinned, threaded, and somehow expected to hold together to inspire much confidence. It may have been easier/safer to CNC each case from solid stock...

Hope he plans on reloading that brass after all that work.

He seems to know more about gunsmithing than me though ... Just don't ask me to shoot it.

Impressive, wonder how it would go out the window of the ute. :shock: Funny bit I found was that after spending mega bucks on making cases etc, and then the cost of building the rifle, he had a whinge about spending 3. or so bucks on projectiles. Would have liked to see a video of the load he had going at 1900 with the casties. :D
