Success!
Aaron,
I actually discovered a solution to my dilemma which allows me to salvage all of the "short" brass from the most recent fireforming. All I have to do is to reduce my OAL from 1.385" to 1.380" (which is only 1/3 of a millimeter shorter), and I can save 75% of this set and 100% of the remainder of the first fireforming set. I also happen to come into some great fortune. There's a local gunship 10 minutes from me that has been in business for 50 years. They happen to have like 10 of the 20-round boxes of the S&B 45gr FMJ 22 hornet ammofl for about $1/round (I've been looking for this), as well as 3 of the 50-round boxes of the Federal 30gr TNT green for $1.30/round (onlime is rare and at least $1.90/round. The Federal ammo is made in Germany, and has brass headstamped "F - C" and it is clearly been annealed at the factory, and annealed very well...better looking brass than anything I've seen come from the US makers. Once I fire them, I'll determine their quality. Hopefully they have good capacity (at least as much as Hornady), because I may use those for my hammer load instead. This Federal cartridge/brass made in Germany is the best looking hornet ammo I have ever seen. Period. I hope it shoots as well as the TNT green in 22WMR did in my CZ512, as I may then save some for close range work. |
