Another way to empty 357 cases

[JMorris]

I had a 9" section of a 9mm barrel left over from another project I had sitting around for awhile and finally did something with it.

Turned it down to fit the 20ga chamber of one of my 24's. After a fellow tinkerer loaned me a reamer I shot some groups with it today and managed a 1.5" 5 shot group at 25 yards with it today, with some mild cast 158 gn loads.

Will you adopt me? I'll mow the lawn and take out the trash.

How do you eject the case?

 

[JMorris]

With the loads I am currently using tilt the barrel up and stop the edge as it slides back, the case moves back at that point so I can grab it. Had one "stick" and I pulled the insert out and holding the muzzle end swung it towards the ground, flinging the case out at my feet.

I think I am going to O-ring the insert and machine it so it uses the 20ga ejector, if I play with it much longer.

Cool project as usual for you.
