Here is a drawing depicting the layout of thick and thin sided cases, like my 585/375/416 HE thin sided ones and the thick one in picture. And my 585 case is not perfect, as where it transitions from the heavier corner to the side it isn't gradual, so case separates there shortening case life. There are others made that way including brand X. The dotted line is what it should be............ Others have sent cases to section and look at, that are built thick sided and they stick also for the folks, If a longer case with about 5 sq in of side surface sticks and don't spri

For big long cases our testing is showing that the 416 easier to get powders to work with, less problems .. Maybe building a target gun,don't have 375 barrel all ready, maybe go 416.... We got cases, 416 HE and 416 HSM, as well as 375... CEB and others will have bullets...CEB will be doing .416 in 450gr, 475gr, 500gr, 525gr and 550gr Got sent 5 thick sided sample cases, same OD base as 585/375.416 cases, same belt, just .180" longer, did a 416 HE, chambered extra barrel , cases stick over 50k. They have about .042" total taper, .021" per side, when I necked couple to 416.

Here in picture of the cases, are shown the steps in making our 416 HSM case, from BMG brass,, Ed We might have a company that is doing a bolt gun with an action between BMG size and longer rifle actions used for 375 HE, 375 Lethal, and Cheytacs.. To use for our 416 HSM without having to do extreme rebating of the rim. Here is picture of 620 416 hsm cases half done. Done on cnc , that slimmed them down, cut new rim and extractor groove. There are over 500 more at cnc getting done now, plus we have 1000s more bmg cases we make them from, when

Here is recap simple setup to get faster loads with 12ga sabots & slugs, Example using break actions...., reaming chamber in a 12ga break action to 3.5" with a 3.5" 12ga reamer, that isn't something needing special order, and use 3.5" plastic cases , or get 3.5" brass cases made. With mag shotgun primers and our slower powder loads you can get a quarter more speed, which gives 50% more eneregy... 585 Hubel Express video, 190ft/lbs recoil, heavy load, gun little light.....

Here is video of it being tested... And with a 350gr bullet about 3450-3475, bolt opened easily with one finger...And he's just getting started and is checking on better powder, Ed.. https://www.facebook.com/AsteroidPrecision/videos/298031133934093/?fref=gs&dti=321360231548869&hc_location=group

Here is case measurements for our 416 HE target case made from our 585 HE big belted case. Ed Here is picture of 375 HE left, 416 HE next, 416 HSM right.. Here, tentative specs, 416 HSM case we are doing from bmg brass, A 375 HE, with Lawton action, bunch being done with those .....

The 12ga FH case now is in the new COTW book on last page in the wildcat section, I think page 324. They gave good credit to Rob for the idea of that case.... The model 416 HE long case in middle, hydro formed one, has case capacity of 240 gr, and the 416 HSM in picture, on the right, we fired a case twice, capacity is 320gr.. Ed.. More info out now; short, fat cases sticking, pockets not lasting as expected. Trying to get best speeds the things raising pressures are bad case proportions, too sharp of shoulders, too fast of powders........... and debth o

Guys asking about strong economical bolt gun to use for 28ga and 410 ga and 32ga with brass cases and higher pressures than plastic cases. They can use a MN bolt action, here is pic of one with our 585 case in the action.Guys can get Magtech brass cases or have RMC make them....Guys can make 32ga case from 500 NE, 410s from 9.3 x 74 brass, etc.. Here is picture of our 416 HSM case sectioned next to original BMG case on the right sectioned, to show that we still have enough thickness in the sides to handle high pressure, in a case with 310 gr capacity..We are getting the w

Here is picture of a brake on 12ga FH with real hot loaded hollowbase lead slug, brake needed more clearance for the expanding slug. Here is the before and after of 375 HE cases necked, 2 on left, and then formed in hydro die... Ed Here is pic of 416 HSM second from left we are experimenting with, going to see if we can make the ultimate 416 ELR case. Can be 3.60" to 4.00" long, a long one pictured. Holds over 280 gr ball powder under bullet. The 3.6" case can hold about 250gr under bullet.. In picture, 1st case is 416 HE, 2nd 416 HSM, 3rd 375 He, 4th 3

Picture of fellows at Vestals Gunsmithing test firing 585 HE they built for a guy. They got 750 gr to almost 2800 from ultra short barrel, not a full load . A regular barrel would be over 2900, 14000 ft lbs with full load.. Picture of our 375 HE cases, with little 378 WEA on left. Middle case is with 330 gr, right case is 400gr bullet. Here is picture of out 375HE testgun, in heavy t-hole stock. So far 340 gr to 3700 and 360gr 3600. Next 416 HE target case, these run through the hydro-die, test gun done,will complete t

Here is picture of one of 3 buffs our guy from Canada got in Africa with our 24ga FH he did on a NEF, in 2nd picture Here is the neck die setup, with insert stems/plugs for the top that are set in .020" steps to make our 375 HEs shown behind from our 585HE cases. 900 cases behind and 600 on another bench, mostly done, and 600 started elsewhere, We also made a hydraulic form die, 375 HE test gun, starting with lighter bullets, for example got 340 gr to 3700, Will test up to 400gr We will find top speeds and powders needed to get that

Our friend Brian from the far north went to Africa with his 24ga FH he did in a NEF break action and got 3 nice buffs with it. Good job. Our 585HE, 700HE and the great 12ga FH are now in the new COTW book published in Oct, now out for sale, We now have our target 375 HE cartridge, made by necking down our 585 HE. The others couldn't make enough 375s, so we started our own. It has different shoulder taper, length, neck length, improved over the others...Got a bunch guys doing it, most into the 2 mile shooting venues, We're making cases, testing, reamer prints at ream

Here is a picture of the 12ga FH brass case that Nathan Vale had Bertrams make. Next to short plastic case. Here is a picture of our 585BB headstamp. Perfect lettering for our case as it came from production line,. I like Hogue stocks, but they aren't made for singleshots. We use singleshots for our 12ga FH and 585HE. Here is picture of a NEF we set up for 24ga FH and we adapted a Hogue 1300 Winchester Hogue to it. Looks a lot better, and handles recoil easier than factory, Butt hollow, easy to add weight,

We have heard that fellow big bore nut, Nathan Vale in AUS, is working with Bertram in making a run of the full length 12ga From Hell cases. Drawn 12ga long cases as strong as BMG brass with unbreakable rims. Any wanting to get some, and get in on the run, contact Bertram at the email ----- b.bertram1@bigpond.com ......

. Here is a helix driver seal we made by cutting base from helix driver wadcup, good for fullbore roundballs that are too big to go in cup. Best one to cut off is shortest `12ga one BPI has. Here is picture of a 585HE made on a Stiller bolt action for guy in Canada. It was made for the poster Spooksar on Africa Hunting and Accuratereloading, by Corlanes/Rocky Mountain rifles, in Dawson Creek BC Canada, with a Stiller action, Timney trigger. the stock is a blue/grey laminate. He imported the barrel, cases, dies, etc.. from us, through Prophet Riv

There are guys on Castboolits forum experimenting with locking on plastic bases securely on slugs. Making their own front heavy ones for smoothbores. Here is picture of our 585BB case next to long 585HE. Here is another view of the great camo job on the 585HE Enfield, a top view. Ed

Here is a Midland break action a guy is doing in 24ga FH. Here is old catalog picture of different stuff used in old days for shotgun loads. Some would be hairy in brass cases Here is picture of a MN a guy is doing 585HE in.. It is singleshot. Redid bolt handle mounted it on the bolt further bac, so the port could be lengthened for our long case. Needs polishing and blueing, scope rail added. Here is another picture of the 585HE with great looking stock. Nice looking wood. Ed

We have a different guy who is getting the 12ga sabots made. I'll post info when he is ready with them. ...Ed

We will have arrived when we have this big bore in our back yard, Kind of a neat suppressor, Here is folder shotgun guys set up as 24ga FH. Here is another view of what we feel is a nearly perfect break action. Guy is making a strong 24ga FH with it. Here is picture of a 585HE MRC PH a guy set up.. Here is picture of our shorter 585 BB for leverguns, etc, with a variety of bullets..Ed

Here is picture of a great old time 8bore double. I like those old outside hammer, big bore guns. The style of most break actions singles aren't the greatest, that we we used for 12ga FH, 10ga FH, other caliber barrels we mono-blocked in them like .585" bore for 585HE and 24ga FH.. One that is close that we have, is the Magtech. Well the guys have found one that is super strong lockup and looks real nice. And has the good quality look. It comes 12ga light shot barrel, soon be monoblocked to rifled 24ga FH, the little brother of the 585HE. We told company if the

Here is picture of a hard plastic molded shotgun case, holding a slug, without crimping, a company is experimenting with. This one with light slug supposed to do over 2000 fps. Here is video by Corlanes Sporting, Dawson Creek, BC, CAN. Known as, Rocky Mtn Rifles, video on Youtube of them testing our 585 HE in a barreled action, they are building for a guy. They are shooting it into their big bullet trap with test load.. Allan and Grant Swan in Australia are building 585HE for a guy, the second they built. First one killed the buff pictured earlier .

A poster reading our threads said '' I'm slowly becoming a recoilapheliac''.. That is neat term , and very glad that folks are catching the big bore fever. Here is a simple, yet neat peep sight we can use on the rear sporterized bridges of Enfields, works on other rear bridges also.Including shotguns. I like peep sights the best for most shooting. They also come with flat bottoms also for bridges and receivers that are flat on top. Another picture of the 585 HE one of our guys put in the MPI stock..

Never owned a Saiga or AK, or handled one. Doing some wildcatting and checking and researching possibilities. Ed

So with the barrel with an interference fit into the front of the receiver, does the bolt lock up into the receiver or does the bolt lock into the rear of the barrel. Thanks for the help in advance, Ed
