Steve,
I bought the forming dies from CH4d. They weren't too bad either. If I remember correctly they were about $30 per die. That was a few years ago though. I'm sure someone on here has a 17-357max of some sort. Maybe they'll chime in. I just looked at a diagram for the maximum. The case is 1.605" long. The 357 mag case is 1.290". So you can make it about .25" longer than the case I gave you. Aaron

If that doesn't do the trick, i don't know what will. GL what sort of working velocities were you able to obtain out of that case sir? Aaron is netting 4000+ out of the Jet version with the 20's, so i'm hoping the Maximum will meet my goal of 3600/30's out of a 17-18" barrelled XP-100--we'll see. Also GL do you have a contact for Bill West? Thks. in advance.

Same photo as above but I added Ray's 17 & 20 Jav Imp into the mix for your view pleasure
 No luck on searching for Bills 17 Max info. may have been on the old website before the crash. It was a nice looking rifle too. I did find the following links though, http://saubier.tempwebpage.com/forum...d.php?p=140094 http://www.saubier.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10023 http://www.saubier.com/forum/showthr...ght=17+maximum also found this Ramshot Load data Unpublished http://www.saubier.com/forum/showthr...ght=17+maximum

Thks. much sir. Good reading. This will be my 1st true wildcat build, but i'm not sure about the forming of the cases. Sounds like a number of them can be lost in the forming process. Not even sure where to start with this one.

Steve,
Don't be scared of forming cases. You can loose a few until you get the process down. Its not really that hard, just takes time. First thing you need to decide is what cartridge your gonna build. When I get home I can scan my notes from forming my jet brass. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. Aaron
