Good Morning,

I have been shooting my T-Gewehr for almost two years and use 50BMG cases. Originally, I had ordered OEM specification cases from RCC but they went Chapter 7. The specifications I use to modify my 50BMG cases are based on page 106 of the above cited Kern book. Randy

How did you handle the semi-rim on the German cartridge?

Out of curiosity (since I don't have one of these) do you know what he's using for a parent cartridge for the cases?

.50 cal maybe..?

If I could get OEM spec cases, then I would should them with much joy. That now seems impossible and I have worked up the 50BMG (rimless) to where I am at almost 100% first-pull ignition. Most shooters use the 50BMG with very careful reforming of the brass. I found that you got to get the headspace just right or NoGo. You also might get good extraction with the original extractor or need a bit of wiggling. Without that kind of reloading/reforming patience, I went another route.

If you follow my thread at Milsurps.com, you will see my journey with the T-Gewehr. Of note is page 8 where you see the bolt head and extractor modifications I had made to make my life MUCH easier. Take a look and fire away with questions. Glad to assist in any way I can. Randy
