Is it possible to make .500 3" brass from Norma .470 brass?
It looks like it's just to shorten the brass and neck up..
It seems like a much better solution with high-quality Norma brass than Bertram.
thanks

You would have to fireform (hold a 470 NE and a 500 NE x 3" side by side).

Is BELL/MAST making 500 NE brass yet?

Mast Technology already makes the 500 in 3 and 3 1/4. Seems a lot easier and a whole lot less trouble to buy it already made up.
Here's a link to their brass pricing page. On the occasions I have delt with Mast I have found them to be most helpful. Their brass for my 450/400 3 inch is the best I have found, bar none!Mast, Bell Ammo

Morten,

You can shorten and fireform 470 Brass into 500 NE Brass and it does work.

I would however recommend using ready made 500 NE Brass such as BELL from Mast Technology - it is alot easier and I have found that Brass can have a "memory" if it has been made from another calibre.

I use BELL 500 NE 3" in 500 x 3" Doubles and case life is excellent.
