Thread: Toby's Stock

Should add I could probably get it a little longer if I need a proper trimmer as I could lop the neck and most of the shoulder back and it'll have more length. The way I did that with the grinder took a few mm's back from the shoulder.

Refined it a little more, have a question now. I done another case from a 30-06 and did what I said before and took it back just to the shoulder and got 50mm case length but the 44 projectile I have is kinda hard to put in and am wondering is that due to the case being sized so to speak or do I need to open it a tiny bit and if I was to open it the whole case would fit loose in the chamber but would that matter? heres new pics. the 44 projectile is just sitting there and is next to a .308 for comparison.





Here it is next to the other one I made.

Case taper of the 06 case

Do you think I should do it off the .270 then?

They both share the same taper
You could blow the 06 case out or run an expanding die thru it,

The taper is probably a good thing tho, for feeding

Why reinvent the 45-70 tho?

What are you headspacing off with no shoulder or rim?

Case mouth

Because I can.

Cut a 308 off at the shoulder and stuff a 44 in it and ill be able to sort you a reamer

Thanks for the offer spanners

+1.

You mean like a long .45 ACP?? Headspacing off a case mouth can be problematic. Sticking with a rimmed cartridge would be a safer option. .444 Marlin could be an option???

.44 Amp is what Im doing now by the looks of things.

That's a 308 at neck and shortened
Claymore/Minotaur is at the neck

Ahhh right. Is it around 40mm long?
