im in need of some help here im making up a new BP round what I need is someone with a cut down(2") but not yet formed 24ga brass shell if they could see how much 2f this will hold my cartridge uses a full length 24ga but the bullet seating depth takes up all the room till about 2" thanks in advance
 
Case filled to 1/2" below mouth, settled, but not compressed, FFg, 132gr.
I note that the MagTech 24ga cases are semi balloon head. A full compressed load with a bullet seated on top is going to be pretty stout.

well that's what im going for. the cartridge is going to be in a martini action hold a 650gr bullet that's .622" a true moose thumper that mite be worthy of a trip to Australia for a few bigger critters

you do make a good point of the balloon head cases maybe cut some .577 nitro down to 2.5" and ream the necks out to .622 for soild head cases
