Re: Making large primer 6.5x47Lapua

Changing from small to large primers in rifle cases is a good way to get blown up. You are going to remove metal from the case head. I know the brass is expensive... Have you tried a punch to close the outside of the hole? There are a couple of ways to tighten the hole. If it were me, I would put them in the scrap brass box under the bench.
You can buy more brass or another rifle. You can't re-grow eyes or a head.
40,000 to 60,000 PSI is some tall pressure. Do some thinking before you do anything that can't be reversed. </div></div>
I'm not saying one way or the other, but if this were dangerous wouldn't we all have blown ourselves up by now with all the other identical .308 based large primer cases? Is there something different with the dimensions of the Lapua case?
