[QUOTE="coyote wacker, post: 2681371, member: 93683"] I use 240 Weatherby Mag. brass to make my 40 x 1.8"....just cut and resize....no worries about brass to short...because it uses the magnum rim to head space on not the case mouth.... Using a 30-06 just creates a problem like with the 450 BM....case gets hammered forward at the shot eventually making the brass to short....unless you use a Winchester model 70 pre-64 type action....I have found out the claw helps hold the cartridge not allowing the firing pin to push the cartridge forward upon firing... I have a Winchester model 70 50 B&M SS controlled round rifle it uses 325 WSM brass cut to 1.65" I have shot cartridges 30+ times and still waiting for them to be to short and running them just over 60'000 psi....I have fired 450 BM in AR-15's , Ruger Americans and Christensen Arms that the most shots before a case got too short was 6 shots most around 3....
