    12g brass hulls

    Hi I need to shoot some black powder from brass cases. I can easily buy the cases but they need a large pistol primer which can now only be bought on a FAC which I dont have. I remember somewhere of a modification to the case to use standard shotgun primers which i do have. Any suggestions please.
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    Hi Peter, only just caught this. Try looking at Rocky Mountain Cartridge brass, Okay it has to be imported from the US but a quick e-mail should establish if the 12g brass is equipped for shotgun primers (their .410 brass is), price list here:

    Worth a look if avoiding re machining faff is an issue.
