Dear Sir,
I read in "Alex Auxiliary Cartridge" website about a 22 Hornet cartridge made of mild steel which incorporates a .22LR cartridge into itself. I would like to make some of these auxiliary cartridges for myself; saving the expense and providing me with a nice project. I have access to and belive I have the required knowledge to complete such a project.
As it may be, turning or grinding the outside diameter to within .0005 is not a problem. My problem is the fit required on the .22LR inside the bore. Should the .22LR be a slight press fit or a running fit in the
auxiliary cartridge bore? How about head space for the .22LR; should I add an extra .001 on the auxiliary case or would that be too much?
Thank you very much for any info which you can give me.
