[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 850994, member: 29890"] They are custom made, the guy that makes them uses a 4" piece of an old barrel that is chambered for a specific cartridge, in this case 300wm, 300 wby and 6.5x55 imp, he then uses a mandrel underneath to keep from over stressing the cases, then he has a punch made of 441c stainless that he taps with a medium weight brass hammer. The method is very effective but after the second tightening you must start sealing the primers to prevent gas leakage even though the pocket is super tight, it may have a spot or two around it that wants to leak, which will erode the bolt face and screw up your extreme spread. He uses clear finger nail polish. He has won several matches, a couple championships, and several other awards, shooter of the year, etc.. so I guess he knows what he's doing, even running a 300wm at about 68k and the wby at about 73k.
