<bongo500>460 A-2 Cases
Help! Need a source for 460 A-Square Short
cases. Will somebody continue to make cases for A-2 calibers?

<Mitch>Bongo, Quality Cartridge Co. is making brass for all of the a-square cartridges.

<bongo500>Thank you Mitch, by the way you do not have a Address or phone number of Quality Cartridges? I have got a few numbers from Yellow Pages but they all make printer cartridges.

<Lars G>Bongo - the 460 A-Square Short can be made from 378 or 460 Wby cases. Anneal the neck and shoulder, trim to 2.500" and fireform. I'm not really sure whether the annealing is all that necessary, but others recommend it. Seems like this would be the way to go if you can't get A-Square cases. Obviously, this is not the answer if headstamp is a concern.

<bongo500>Thanks Lars, I have done it before. Anealing helps a lot. The problem is: I dont like the headstamps not being the right ones, because I have 2 460 WM rifles.
Well, I found some people making A-2 cases:
owlnet.com/quality, but got no answer on my e-mail till now. And Horneber in Germany who will start making another charge of A-2 cases in September. So a placed my order for 500 A-2 and 460 A-2 and let's wait to see what happens.
