32/35 Stevens

I needed some 32/35 cases for breechseating, so made up some tooling yesterday and today. Donor cases were new FC 30/30. I made a form die to swage the base dim to .400” using the hydraulic press. Then made a 2nd form die for the final form in the reloading press. Base bulge was trimmed off in the lathe. They turned out very well. L toR are the bulged case out of die #1, finish formed case out of die #2, and finished fireformed case. I annealed and fire formed all (8). It was either this project or start on building an Ark!

When I needed some, I took a 32-40 sizing die and trimmed a little off the end until it had the right base diameter.  It worked well.
