Steelhead cases from O'Connor Rifle products
Over 20 years ago I bought a large number of these cases and formed them up for 458 WM, 375 H&H, 300 WM, .270, and .250 Savage. Some how I managed to let the Mag. steel heads out of my grasp. I have the brass formed in .300 WM and NO STAINLESS STEEL HEADS. If anyone out there has the steel head I would like to talk with you. I don't need many, but I have only got 1 head and 70+ never fired brass cases
This was an interesxting concept. I got some unreal volicitys out of those with the .300. Fun, but very expensive.

Those Connor cases are now collector items and if you found someone with the steel heads by themselves you would probably have to pay dearly for them. A machinist could make a few for you using today's CNC but I have no idea what they would charge. Good Luck

Che,
How much are they worth? I still have complete units in .250 Savage and .270 win. UNFIRED

Jack - A couple of years ago I saw a five round O'Connor plastic box that had just one '06 sized case in it go for $20 at an auction. Last year one case of the magnum size went for $15. These were both straight, unformed. I don't know what the fully formed ones would sell for. Auction prices are always higher so I would guess that gun-show prices might be a little lower, except I've never seen any at a gun show.
