WTB 218 cases
Does anyone have some 218 cases that I could buy could use 6 or so, I am converting a rimfire block in a Martini Cadet to center fire and need the cases to check the head space and firing pin. If you wish them returned when I am finished I can do that as well, I looked through all my collection and have one unfired cartridge.
Customer is working on getting dies but nothing yet and I would like to get the gun finished and out of the shop.

Making a gage wold be pretty easy... the "GO" at .065, then you culd use shim stock behnd it for the "NO GO"

Good idea tu2 that will be easy I should have thought of that , still would like to have some cases, they will help setting the firing pin lenght.

If you are just looking to set the block height (primer centering to the firing pin hole) and firing pin protrusion, you could just cut off a few 32-20 cases and use them. Much easier to find than Bee brass.
