This video from Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Keith provides a practical solution for owners of firearms chambered in obsolete cartridges where commercial ammunition is no longer available. They demonstrate how to modify existing brass casings from more common cartridges to create functionally equivalent rounds. Examples include converting .32-20 Winchester brass for 7.63mm Mannlicher, .30-30 brass for .32 Winchester Special, and .223 Remington brass for 7.63mm Mauser. The techniques involve cutting rims, creating extractor grooves, and resizing. The video also highlights the importance of quality lubricants and recommends two key reference books for cartridge conversions.
