Begging a favor of the aspiring and/or accomplished machinist .

For the continued work on the 6.5 Arisaka I need a shell holder . I have several suitable including the correct one for loading . However when I form other cases , 308 family , I tend to get a lump where where the head squashes into the high/hung primer slot . A shell holder with a full flat face inside the rim groove area would fix that .

The Big Max A4 will squash 243 right down single stroke .

Fill it with 24-hour cure JB Weld or Devcon liquid steel or epoxy in a strip of brass and file it flush. Shell holders require a tiny key-slotting mill with radiused edges (to avoid stress risers) that I don't have, and a heat treatment when finished or they'll simply bend and smush.
