He used something to bump up the back of the case some to make sure it was centrally located. Firing it bulged up the front of the case to hold a bullet, more firing expanded the back to get usable solid head cases.

Sounded fun. I used some tape on the brass case and a light wadcutter load. Blam, split the case from stem to stern. While not very scientific (one isolated data point) my interest in the experiment ended there.

Down below I mentioned .22LR and .22WMR - Jim Taylor, 2020-12-18, 10:34
