Dave at kelton Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Do you have the internal measurements to get one made up? McDougall put this at 0.920” as most suitable in his book 8 bore guns and their cartridges. He cautions about not making the shoulder a sharp edge but adding a slight chamfer. The entrance for the rim is 1.03” and 0.07” deep. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Not 8 bore, but I was after a 16 bore resizing tool as I had acquired a load of 16 bore paper cased cartridges for my side by sides. Couldn`t source one so I decided to make one from a chunk of thick plastic type material (not sure what it is) scrounged off a pal. After experimenting, a chamfer was the answer to avoid digging into the case and now works a treat. I was fortunate however, that an 18mm drill bit was the perfect size. Not sure about other bore sizes. If anyone is still unable to source a resizer, I think that I may be able to get hold of some of the plastic stuff I used so that they can make their own. It`s pretty easy to do and works well. OB Edited July 11, 2021 by Old Boggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
