And then today arrived. More stuff to do. Time to take the cut down 50 Alaskan cases and fill them up with powder, cream of wheat and cap them with a wax topper before taking them out and fire forming them so I can see just how big the chamber is. So with on with the show.

The cut down. First a test case to see how accurate and troublesome this is going to be,



Worked so good I just kept chopping on all 20.



Then slug the barrels to be sure I don't need to size down the cast boolits. Just drive a 54 cal Remington Golden ball down the muzzle to see just what the real bore is.









Now to get these cases loaded up for fire forming. Starting with getting the wax cap made. A sheet 1/8 inch thick should do just fine.

Now all I have to do is go out and pop some caps and hope it does not rain.
