Loaded 4 test rounds for my 16 bore pinfire. Wanted to make sure that the process ends in rounds that go boom. All worked so I'll load more in a few days. These were with magtech brass. Going to try the same process on some all plastic hulls that I was given by some members. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXUgmYmxiVg

Any issues getting the magtech brass to work? Looks like it worked out fine in the end either way, nice job...

I decided in the end to have the chamber rims cut to take the magtech brass as is. It was way cheaper than having 25 non uniform brass cases turned to fit the barrels. I was a bit apprehensive pulling the triggers the first time for sure. Everything looked good but it's old. lol

That's very cool. I've passed on so many gorgeous pinfire 16's simply because of the ammo issue. You would need at least 10-15 loaded rounds to make one work as a usable hunting gun. Congrats! Maybe I won't pass on the next one...

I'm a fan of your stock work Mark. A machinist cut the chamber rims for $150, was going to be about $225 to adapt the hulls to the chambers.
