[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1297331"] There are so many options in case choice and it gets dizzying of you are willing to go the route of reshaping base and rim diameters of parent cases. I feel like making the run down of parent cases rim size: Not a perfect list 404 Jeffery .537 500 Jeffery .579 378 Weatherby .579 Lapua .590 505 Gibbs .640 50 BMG .804 12.7x108 .858 From these we got a lot of different cases that have the potential to make the 2 mile distance. Some of use have chosen out base case and we have our path ahead to finish designs, build rifles and make some bragging rights. They get shortened, stretched, tapers changed shoulders added, moved changed but there is only one guy I know of who alters the case by machining down the rim and re-drawing it through a die with a mandrel or swagging it down to make a belt. I would never have thought of re-drawing finished brass without him. Thanks Ed Hubel for your creativity and inspiration. [/QUOTE]
