I bought a demilled 1903A3 Springfield New bolt, barrel and a few other small parts it's back up and running

i was literally picking up brass at the range i used to work and thought this exact thing

you should anneal the brass.

It'd be cool to see these get shot into ballistic gel.

I think this was an interesting test. Thank you for sharing it.

isnt the gyropistol thing technically a 65% more bullet per bullet gun?

You can further soften the jacket by annealing the entire jacket before you start your forming. One complication of leaving the primer in is they will occasionally come out inside the formed completed round. This may lead to the occasional hang fire if the primer blocks the flash hole. But as you are casting the lead inside the case, you have little choice about that. I make .40 S&W rounds from 9mm pistol casings but trim the annealed case down to a smaller size and force in a lead core. I use the BT Sniper JHP die in a Walnut Hill swage press for this having broken a rockchucker.

This is awesome....but now lets see the damage on targets

Living my dream

I understand You don't have it, but there exists rollers which used in lathe. May miss right word because of language barrier, mean instrument for machinery on which You make press form for bullets. Those rollers can help with bullet form by rolling it up... Damn, I just feel like this sound like gibberish. Hope You understand what I mean.

Your supposed to use a pipe wrench so the jaws tighten on the job, the way you used them to tighten the receiver was forcing the jaws open and can destroy the wrench. An 18 inch crescent works better.

All those terrible effect in movies and tv where a fired bullet flys with the casing still attached. We're reaching levels of shenanigans and tomfoolery never before tried.

Amazing. Now start producing millions of these for the German Empire!

I wanna see these hit clear ballistics gel.

What is the grain weight on a lead filled 5.7 case?

8:37 I'm not a machinist, but if you're going to run a die backwards, do it as a second pass

Took off the rim ! Lord no !

Wtf no ! Swap primers once clean

I used the 5.7 in my 7.62x39 ar (with video evidence) works well thank you for the original video. Was my inspiration.

If you want to remove the polymer coating more thoroughly, wet-tumble the cases with stainless steel pins. I use a Harbor Freight rock tumbler with my setup.

If you're getting consistent weights I'm sure these have some good accuracy potential.

Japanese in WW2 had trouble sourcing metals for their bullets and would use whatever they could get a hold of. All lead, all copper, tin, brass you name it.

Have you thought of making a casting die and just casting brass bullets made from recycled brass?

Very interesting reload project :) well performed and very interesting

Hallo !! Very nice video. Did you find the bolt??

Boattail is overrated :)

Rust bluing in a homemade steam tube is pretty clever.

It would be interesting to see what different kinds of materials and thicknesses those will go through. Like different thicknesses of mild steel plate or cinderblock and pavers or wood, etc.

Pretty cool nice job

16:52 I dont doubt this is real for a second, but when addressing people who didnt believe its real, you shouldnt put a cut in the video between you loading the round and firing

Be interesting to see ballistics gel

Fox Stocks has kar 88 stock with or with or without stack hook birch or walnut also 33/40 ?😮❤

The FN PS90 dings the neck of the brass in

You can buy projectiles for less than what you can sell the 5.7 brass for. Unless it's been reloaded too many times, you are wasting your time and money. That's not even factoring the lead into it.

fun fact, the Swedish one originally didn't have bayonet lugs
