[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 863157, member: 1521"] It could be done, but as bigngreen implied it would take a plan and some work. You would need a forming die to move the shoulder back. These are tough to find these days. My kit came from Lee Six, including custom bushings for WSM sized cases. Also, you would need deep precise annealing to mid-body without ruining the lower case. This means lead dip. Turning would be a must and doing so with such thick brass to begin is very challenging. Biggest issue; turning mandrel fit. You can punch the donut outward and turn it off, and to do this means forming the entire neck a good bit undersize first, to setup for the expansion. But thick brass springs back more than normal, leaving very tight turning mandrel fit. So the lead dip would likely help with this. Then I'd just jam fire-form to finish. Remington's management must truly suck. They should not be rewarded. [/QUOTE]
