NO IM SORRY IF I PUT YOU OFF, ITS JUST NOT REALLY VIABLE FOR THE AVERAGE MAN OR A MAKESHIFT SETUP TO MAKE STEEL 9MM CASINGS

EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE IS TINY, ALMOST TOO TINY FOR HAND TOOLS TO BE USED EFFECTIVELY

THE METAL NEEDS TO BE UNIFORM, SEAMLESS, AND THIN ON THE CASE WALLS, AND THE CASE HEAD IS A PUCK OF MATERIAL WITH A SHAPED RIM RINGED AROUND IT AND TWO DIFFERENT DIAMETER CENTERED HOLES DRILLED INTO IT FROM BOTH ENDS -- A PRIMER POCKET AND A FLASH HOLE FOR THE PRIMER

AND THE CASE HEAD AND CASE WALLS HAVE TO BE THE SAME PART

ITS A LOT OF EFFORT AND HASSLE FOR A SMALL AND FRANKLY CONSUMABLE ITEM

THEORETICALLY THE PRESSURE COULD BE LOW ENOUGH TO HAVE THE CASE WALLS AND CASE HEAD BE SEPARATE, LIKE A SHOTSHELL

THAT WOULD EASE THE PROCESS GREATLY

CASE WALLS COULD BE COPPER TUBING DRAWN OR PRESSED OVER A MANDREL, CASE HEAD COULD BE CAST OR MOLDED FROM EPOXY OR MOLTEN ALUMINUM OR COPPER

THEN THE TWO COULD BE PRESSED TOGETHER OR GLUED OR SOLDERED

AND FOR A SHOTSHELL YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE CASE WALLS, YOU'RE JUST MAKING THE CASE HEAD PUCK
