I should have asked how to get the primer out. I tried punching from both ends without success. Being impatient, I held the shell in my pin jaws, and using a drill that was the same size as the inside of the neck (so the neck was a guide) drilled all the way through. I then cast the resin and then redrilled with the correct size. Luckily for me, straight down the center.
So next time, how should I have removed the primer?Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Thanks for posting the picture Bdar
I take it that you faced off another cartridge to make the centre ring or did you machine it seperately?
Like the pen clip as well

Neil, find a 2mm rod, and run that down the inside of the case. Tap with a hammer to pop the primer out.
This should work most of the time.
There is a small hole in the middle of the primer pocket, that's where you want that rod to run through.
Problem is, some cases have two smaller holes. Since you are not using the case for it's original purpose, hit it with the hammer a lot harder.
Cruzi, the 270 (Winchester) is based on the 30-06 case, as is the 308 (Winchester) and 243 (Winchester). All one big, happy family.
The 303 has effectively no similarity to any of them, other than being classed as a 30cal, and even then it uses a bigger pill.
Sorry.
