I see you are into wildcatting! Sweet! Looks like maybe a .40 necked up to .60 caliber? Must be quite the thumper.

Looks similar to my "improved .38 Special" 8-)

It's a 9mm necked up to a .45. I thought it was a little tight in the expander die. Since I am a very perceptive person I caught this error on the first case.

It looks like you need to adjust your crimp die a bit, or get bigger bullets :lol:

If you cut the bottom off it you'll have a nice little funnel.

I think I'll seat a used primer in it, seal it with clear nail polish, and sell it as a wine goblet for someone about 9" tall.
