So I asked them to shoot my .450 GNR forming "blanks" using about 70 gr. fast pistol powder and a tuft of tissue. They form quite well using about 1/2 a square of TP to hold powder inside. A FL .348 Win. case expands and gets into the barrel throat a couple mm, which I trim.

They make a BIG flame at 1:00 p.m.! A ferocious blast that rattles my face. It put Roman's friend behind cover and he refused to shoot a blank! lol

I use this LEE gizmo to chuck any case from .22 Hornet to .510 in my lathe. I cheat trimming cases and use the machine's indices to get it just right. With a bit of finesse it works fine.
