Great video. While I will likely never wildcat, I do appreciate the education and it gave me some insights on the AMP annealer that I didn't know. What I really appreciate is the fact that the AMP annealer process is backed up by actual metallurgical testing as opposed to the guessing game of visual appearance or temperature/time relationships. I also appreciate your outstanding customer service even responding to an email question on a weekend and after hours. Wonderful people, company, and product.
I thought I was hot stuff when I created some .277 Wolverine cases 😂. This is really interesting stuff. I’m glad there are people like you two out there innovating and driving the industry forward.
Awesome - just awesome. But one Question. The thickness of the shoulder ist much thicker as the neck. Is it not to hard if you want to reset the brass after fire forming? Is the 4077 a resault of AZTEC?
Thanks for the video, im just getting into wildcat rounds and the amp machine makes it look so easy. I will definitely be buying one of your machines when i finish school. What brand are the forming dies?
Hi Trevor, The dies are actually custom made by a gunsmith who works for our Australian distributor BRT Shooter Supplies. You might want to contact them for more information. You can see their website on our "Buy Now" tab of our website under Distributors.
I've been wanting to size a smaller cartridge up to a larger size. Specifically a 7.62x39 Russian to hold a 10mm Auto bullet. I was thinking of trimming off the crimp portion at øH1, reaming the case and resizing the mouth to hold the 10mm auto (.400 inch or 10.17mm) bullet. It would retain some of the taper of the original while shortening the case to about 33mm in length but still keeping enough case capacity to have good power. Effectively creating an autoloading 10mm Carbine Magnum that could be fired from a rebarreled SKS, AK pattern rifle or any number of bolt guns or even a lever gun if you used flat nosed bullets. Is that even doable? Can you go up that much? There is good quality brass available from Hornady.
To answer your question...yes you can. Look at the 45 raptor for example its a standard 308win necked up to 45cal. Think 300 blackout on meth and steroids lol Also look at the 9.3x39. You can find factory ammo for it
Great stuff, I habe the mark II and am planing to make a 7mm WSM out of either a 270wsm or a 300 wsm. Do i need special codes or just generate an aztec code before and after? Would you recommend to neck up from 270wsm or down from the 300wsm? Thanks!!
@@tobiastorsi Either way should be ok. We have not tested that specific case ourselves and this video was our first experience with forming wild cats so you may have to experiment.
Could you not just trim to like 3.1" before you ever turn on the machine or are bushings at whatever diameter that is unavailable? I don't see the point in heating brass that you are going to trim off later.

Excellent video! Very informative!
Wow. What patience and attention to process.
Never thought .375 could look small
how does the machine understand how much it needs to anneal? is there an infrared sensor, or is the induction field being measured?
Excellent video !!!
How do you arrive at the "additional" power numbers? What do those number mean? Is it a time in seconds, or is it power+time, or what? Just curious.

Thank you for the information
Why does that cartrage exist?

Great video! The lathe that you have in the background.... Who makes it?
Thanking you!

Winchester has the 400 legend coming out any time now .

Alex says you should be good to just analyse it with AZTEC as normal, then anneal it, then put it through the die to neck it up then fire form it.
Annealing Made Perfect so rather 270 to 7mm than 300 to 7mm?

from which company is the forming die ?

It would probably be cheaper and more efficient to set up a custom cup and draw process...
Ima take this deer hunting
