Reforming Magtech 24 gauge Shotshells with the Lee Precision Die Set
I have made about 90 .577-450 Martini-Henry Brass cases from MAGTECH
24 gauge Shotshell hulls using the LEE Precision Martini-Henry Dies Set.
You MUST anneal the brass after almost every action since it hardens quickly
and then deforms while putting it thru the die.
However, if you go REALLY slowly and anneal very often, you will quickly learn
how to get good Brass cases from the process. That works out ot about $1.25
per case in the end (not counting the initial outlay for the Lee Dies).
Here is one of them (Paper Patched 500 grain Cast Bullet - my design) alongside
other cartridges. I also use the Magtech Brass for a Snider .577.

Here is another next to a 45-70 Paper Patched Shell.

All this to say that YOU CAN reform 24 gauge Brass Shotshells to form
.577-450 Martini-Henry Brass and save a fortune !
I did it !
