One early morning I found a 30 gal can of .223LC brass at the range.
Being on the OLD Ammo Brass Trader Board. I swapped many large boxes
of that brass for things I needed worse.
A new .35Cal Douglas blank. Rem never made a .35 cal. RUM.
Bryce Towsley did. So I did too,
26" 1917 Enfield. 250gr 99.0gr 7828 = 3250fps along with one hell of a blast!
Recoil to match
 
I made a wildcat i call the 401K.
It's a 7.62x39 blown out and necked up to .40 cal.
Was wanting it in a AR platform but having issues with it feeding from a mag. Right now I've got it in a Savage 12 bolt action.
Shoots pretty good but haven't got to really working up a good load.
It needs longer bullets to assist in feeding from mags.
I also just got my dies aboot 3 months ago after a 2 year wait.
