I have developed an M1 Carbine using a.25 cal cartridge using a necked down .30 Carbine. Nothing spectacular, just something to do on the week ends. Redding made the dies from fire formed cases. Now I need to know how to accurately measure the shallow shoulder angle. Math was not my best subject. I don't have a tool small enough to fit. Any suggestions? | ||

Try taking a photo of the case and blowing it up. Then use a protractor on it to measure angle. | |||

Why not ask Redding or the reamer maker? | |||

To Maz and Curley. Thanks. Never thought of the photo. Have question into Redding. No response yet. | |||

Measure length of case, subtract length of neck and length of body, then you know length of shoulder. Measure dia of neck, and dia of body at shoulder. Draw a right angle, and marke it with .001" increments up and sideways, and plot out the length upwards and dia difference sideways. There's your angle, as read from a protractor. | |||
