Started on getting the brass I'm using to form 40-70 Sharps Straight cartridges processed. I am using 30-40 Krag for the donor brass, I just got the dies in yesterday so time to anneal the necks and shoulders for fire forming so as to remove the bottleneck shoulder, and to resize the base down to the size of the sharps. I use a cordless drill and a socket to spin the case in front of a torch and then dump the case into a water bath. Then I dry them in the oven at 235 for one hour, I then lube and run them through the sizing die to get the base of the case sized to the dimensions of the Sharps case, then I'm forced to wait, which I hate. I will not be able to do the fire forming for the shoulder removal until I get the rifle back with the new chamber cut to the Sharps cartridge. Oh how I hate waiting for this type of work to be finished, I'm always so in a hurry to have these projects finished so I can go play with a new shooter.
