You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Re: AND NOW DANISH
Now that is different. Hope you take possession quicker than your recent acquisition from the UK.

Re: AND NOW DANISH
Arrived on Friday and is in Excellent condition. It is a Model 1889 and is dated 1893. Everything is in great condition with no rust. Internals look as though they just came out of the factory........
I have some rounds but they are Berdan primers. Going to have to convert them to Boxers if I can.
Berdan primers here are around 28€ / $31 per 250 if you can find them.

Re: AND NOW DANISH
I managed to find my Kinetic hammer and pulled a couple of bullets. Content detail attached.......
As for the additional cases, 40 original Danish military rounds being delivered on Sunday afternoon
Next job is to remove the primer and convert to Boxer primer. If that works then it's 'All forward and trust in the reloading gods'!!

Re: AND NOW DANISH
So....... Having removed the bullet and powder the next job was to fire the primer and remove it from the case................CLICK-Nothing!
It wouldn't move using hydraulic pressure and eventually succumbed to a drill and spike.
Cavity is 5.4 mm O.D. x 3.33 mm deep.
The only solution is to convert these cases to Boxer primers, there are another 49!
1st Job = Fire them all.
2nd Job = Pull the bullets from the cases that don't go BANG!
3rd Job = Find an Endmill bit to remove the primers. 3/16th

Re: AND NOW DANISH
Hope you have some air conditioned work space. It's apparently as hot in Europe as it is in the US this summer. My reloading space is in a storage room that is without any A/C. However...... I don't have anything to reload... thankfully.
