Ferretlurcher1970 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Has anyone tried taking the plastic off a cartridge head then grafting a brass tube in to the base? Was thinking of converting a industrial case to a 4" brass one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 How will you fix the new tube to the head? It might all go at once and become an 8 bore solid slug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Sounds like the worst idea since Olaf the Hairy ordered 5000 Viking Helmets, with the horns on the inside ... Brass cases need to be fitted to the gun, as the internal chamber dimensions will be specific to that gun ... That's of course having overcome TC's point above. I'd find an alternative route.
