I have around 50 405 cases that have been sized to 378 GNR I will part with.

I think they could be loaded as blanks and fire formed to the 405 chamber, WB concur????

If interested my e-mail is BLTKMT@VERIZON.NET

Yeah if your ox is in a ditch, and they have

only been necked in a press operation they should straighten out fine. After cases are fired they work harden quickly and can split. But virgin cases are normally quite elastic, and that is not too much working.

Sometimes cases are hard to find, them boom, Hornady or Starline will make a run. Always stock up when you can.

My technique for forming from blanks is to fill the case to the shoulder with fast shotgun powder and poke in a little tuft of toilet paper. Mainly so it does not spill. The pressure should be sufficient to blast the neck out straight again. I've had to do it twice before in some wild forming operations but no problem. Blanks shoot out fiery granules some distance so use safety.

Not a blank but a .41 GNR. Reminding of blast.

most all of these have been fired once, so they may not work but if Tim does not want them they are still up for sale

Thank you Brian but I’m going to keep trying to find unformed

If they have been fired in a chamber and fire-formed

I doubt they will work. I would imagine they would split in the neck.

I bought the last 20,000 rounds that Hornady had
