Lucky you. Mine are still in USPS limbo somewhere in Maryland!

Sure. That will work. Use appropriate lube for the powder you use.

My reloadable cases from Jack Harrison finally arrived after more than 3 weeks in USPS limbo. Here is what I did to prepare them.

First I cut them to about .600" length with the chop saw. Then trimmed to final length of .575". Lastly the mouths were neck reamed to. 299" to fit the .299" diameter heel of the bullets. This last step may not be necessary unless you have a tight chamber. But I had the neck reamer, so I reamed them to make seating the bullets easier. After chamfering the case mouths, they were ready to load  ;D

I loaded one starter pistol blank with no powder or bullet to test functionality. I stepped out the back door and it went bang  :D

So I loaded up 8 cartridges using the starter blank, 4.0gr of Old E  3F and my slightly shortened Ideal 299153 bullets. Since I don't have a crimp die, I used 2 drops of loctite, kind of a chemical crimp  ;D.  Finally, the bullets were lubed with an old time factory heel bullet lube.

I now have 8 rounds ready to test fire  :D  :D

I finally got around to loading mine. I trimmed cases to .790. Bullet just touches rifling, as i expect superb accuracy!  :) I Loaded with #2 ramset shell and tenmiles bullets. Shot great! Had a lot more recoil then i expected. I had bought ramset power #3 also, but did not try them after feeling the #2 shells.

I would like to have a die to resize. The bullets fall easily into the case after the first firing.

It really throws up a big chunk of mud when i shoot into the ground. Much more power then expected.

Marshall - Glad you got to try them out. I've not made it to the range yet.  Here is a loading data table that consolidated a lot of work done by a few of us with 32 rimfire years ago over on the Cast Boolits forum.  It has various case lengths, bullets, powders and ramset/duofasts.

I finally got to the range with my little ring trigger pistol. The reloadable .32 rimfire shorts worked great. Its a really fun little piece to shoot.  Here is a short video.
