Great article. Seems like the biggest issue with making dasher brass is maintaining the case length.

Any idea of the case length when using the hydro forming dies?

I’m not a gunsmith or machinist so, would this make sense?

Hornady could sell blanks of this die so, you could make what ever you need with the same reamer that chambered your barrel. Of course, you could have them made from scratch but, that would probably cost more than buying a blank and simply chambering it.

Would such a die be useful for cartridge conversions that require a false shoulder for fire forming to eliminate that step?

Great read! Do they also make this die for a 6ppc? Lee
