Using the plan that Parashooter provided, I went down to my workshop this afternoon and banged this out of .020 brass sheet. First, I resized Para's Plan picture until the scale was correct. Then, I cut the picture out and transferred it to the plate, scribing the lines where needed. I used my Dremmel with a cutoff blade to make the cuts, and then made my bends using clamps and some parallel bars for a simple brake. Once I had everything bent into the proper shape and locations, I silver-soldered the joints. I cleaned all the edges with a fine sanding drum in the Dremmel. I tested it, and made some adjustments... and then silver-soldered the back brace which made it nice and rigid. The whole thing took me about 2 hours to make once I had the picture sized to scale.... and it works great!!! Thanks very much Parashooter for the plan!
Incase anyone is curious, the black on the case necks indicate that these are my practice dummy rounds (no powder or primers). I also have a piece of .025 copper sheet, so I may make a second charger to keep as a backup.
