26.5mm flares - Can they be reloaded?

[geologist]

Given how hard it is to find these puppies, has anyone reloaded their empty shells?

 

[geologist]

Guess not.

 

[Missing Something]

Depends on how hard you look and Yes, they can be reloaded/

Don't they use 38S&W type blank's?

What type of primer would they need?

No they do not use 38 blanks.

Yes they can be reloaded but one has to modify the hulls

It is less grief to get a chamber adapter from Tradex and use 12 gauge short flares.

CDN sources for the 26.5 flare are not cheap.

I have the short 12 ga adaptor but those short 12 ga marine flares are $13 a piece plus tax!

The least expensive 26.5 flares I can find are $30.00 each plus shipping....
