I just think its great that you did it. I'll keep using magtech cases though. I've gotten addicted to the 577/450 round. I have one Nepal francotte that I've shot 4 times (I won't shoot it more than that) and one Gahendra that I plan to shoot a lot more. I plan to sell a Saiga .308 and couple chinese sks's and get one to two British Martinis from the Nepal find at Atlanta cutlery or IMA. I'm 20 min. from Atlanta cutlery so I'll probably go and hand pick some untouched guns.
Do you by chance make the Mandrels for this project and sell them? I think the foil cartridges seem cheaper to make instead of re sizing 24 gauge brass
Just curious, how reloadable you anticipate those to be. I'd think that the solder would get stressed from repeated firing. Great info and great straitforward way of explaining it - keep up the good work!
You can; however, the cost of machinery needed to make high pressure center fire rifle cartridges is beyond the reach of even large shooting clubs. .223 Remington operates at around 50, 000 psi, the 577/450 about 12,000 psi. Then comes the factor of quality control and consistency in production necessary to accuracy. Simple answer, reload. Modern cartridges can be reloaded several dozen times, making cartridge cost negligible.
as the question is posed.. no... not feasibly... possible?? of course.. Straight necked casings would be MUCH easier than a tapered or stepped casing for obvious reasons.
@@emperorromanov9035 Berdan Centerfire would be easiest, it you have the means to make your components fit properly, next would be Boxer (due to having to make an anvil for the primer), then rimfire (the thickness of the brass used or the rim is critical for getting ignition, plus you have form the hollow rim and swirl priming compound into it evenly.
12 years later, thanks be to the algorithm! This was amazing to watch
Very informative, I like it. Don't plan to do it myself, but I appreciate you making the video, its great!

@cigarboxguitar16 glad to see a fellow Vermonter on here thanks for posting this ive always wondered how the foil cases were made thanks
Excellent video! Thank you for posting. I however will not attempt it myself.

how think is the brass sheet your using for the main body of the shell
Also what thickness of Brass foil do you use?
Could you make a case like this for a bolt gun like a 223, and can someone test it and post a video if you think you can do it.
Way too much pressure
223 with blackpowder and i would it cycle in a bolt action and fed from a mag.

Thats alumunium foil or not?
Copper or brass “foil” it’s a thin gauge sheet
i mite make some just for my wall i dont thik i will ever fire one
Do you think someone can feasibly make better homemade metallic cartridges?
as the question is posed.. no... not feasibly... possible?? of course.. Straight necked casings would be MUCH easier than a tapered or stepped casing for obvious reasons.
Is it easier to make certain primer types over others? Centerfire vs Rimfire vs Pinfire?

The most advanced I’ve made from scratch has been 12mm pinfire
Гениально))))
this except 308 Winchester
Americans and their inches... LOL
The joy of converting inches to cm and mm
But it's British measurements.... when they still used inches...
