Been looking for a case of VD without success. That doesn't sound right? Yeah, it would do very well and I'm sure they are out there somewhere. Imagining conversation with the custom crafters of dies, reamers and such....needing those things for a VD short. laugh

Working this out is interesting and educational. Looking at alternatives without guardrails last night and my eyes settled on a shotgun primer I had just removed from an old Alcan 16 ga brass shell. One measurement led to another, and another and....hmmmmmmm.

Small rifle primer nominal diameter .175"
LRP .210"
Shotgun primer .228" on the forward end, .305" on the rim
Fired 22 brass
- case mouth ID ..205" (CCI Quiet, fired but the crimp still remains
- OD .224"
- rim OD .273"
- case length .605"

Standing by for a stroke of genius.....or just a stroke...

I am..........disturbed.
