Sounds like it might work, and in fact, I'm going to get some blank brass casings from an old re-loader here in town, but the main thing, by going that one step further, starting from the bare case, there will be no primer, just a little vent hole. I'll see what he's got in rimless calibers. My second stop will be the library to check out a set of Rudyard Kipling's poems and find the whole copy of "Screw Guns", thanks Mike and Tracy! BoomLover
