Forming 17HH from 22H with no master dies.

[Downunder]

G’day,

I’ve searched through threads and posts but can’t find any definitive system for reforming 22 Hornet to 17 Hornet brass not using reforming dies.
It’s seems impossible to find master forming dies anywhere in the world and Ive had a die on order with a local company (Simplex) for over 12 months.
Bullberry legacy doesn’t export to Australia due to state law so that’s out.

I have 500 PPU New brass (which took a long time to come out of Europe) sitting waiting to be formed but don’t know where to start if theres a method using basic sizing or seating dies to step down or alike.

Any information in regards to solution using available tooling would be enormously appreciated.

Best regards,


Tony
