I was quite interested in the article in the current SSR Journal about making 28-30 SS from 30-06 brass.   It's very similar to what I do, and have written about here, with making 25-20 SS from 223/5.56mm brass.

The author mentioned getting help from uscra112 and he mentioned "may he rest in peace", so apparently, and quite sadly, uscra112 has passed away.   If there was a post here about it, I  missed it and could not find one in a search.  

Phil Way, uscra112, was a very knowledgeable and helpful guy, and he will be missed.   He was a great deal of help to me in working out how to make the 25-20 SS from 223.   His last login here was 7/16/24, and I know he was in his 80s.

If anyone has a link to his obituary, I'd like to read it.

Little known fact about him, from some IMs we shared.   The USCRA in his username is US Classic Racing Association, vintage motorcycles.   He said this about it when I asked if that was what his username meant, as I used to race USCRA and others:

I went online with that handle in 2001 and you are the first to notice.

Yes, I was almost a plank owner of the USCRA when Bob Coy started it, rode a Bultaco and a BSA Goldstar up until 1991 when job circumstances and a move to Michigan put and end to it.  My brag sheet shows me as club 250 champion in 1988. 

It's sad when all the knowledge we accumulate gets lost when we pass away, but Phil sure passed on some of it, and was very helpful to me and others.   

RIP Phil!
