yeah, I could make a steel cabinet...
one thing that has me more interested is possibly getting more life from my 444 marlin brass. as it gets roll crimped I think it might be subject to cracking over time & annealing could really extend case life.
I got the rifle on a trade, with some remington brass & factory ammo. so I bought more rem brass.
now you just about can't find it and rem factory ammo is available but sells for $40 / 20.
starline and hornady now make brass for it. haven't tried any, dunno if it's any good or if either would require different loads than the rem brass. cost for these brands ranges from 60 cents to $1 / case, so it's costly.
I'm watching for more rem brass for it but still, the longer I can make it last the better. being a straight walled case I don't expect much issue with case head separation, I think mouth splits would be the most likely failure due to hardening.
