Expedient Homemade Handgun Ammo

HOMEMADE
If old grandpa left you his old 12
gauge, or you want to shoot that
old pistol you came across while
cleaning the attic (and don’t have
any ammo!) what do you do? If
you can’t buy ammo, or even
primers and re-loading presses
from a store, what do you do??
You will need to start from
scratch!
Expedient Homemade Ammo
provides all the info’ you need to
make simple effective ammo. At
the end of the day, you don’t need
‘Presses or Primers’
to construct
you own improvised ammo with
just a few simple tools !

We will start by manufacturing .38 Special cartridge cases.
The .38 Special is one of the most popular revolver cartridges in the
world, supplying ammunition to a countless array of handguns, so it
seems the appropriate cartridge to start with.
To manufacture our homemade .38 cartridges we require some lengths
of thin walled brass tube. This material is readily available from most
good hobby and craft shops. The tubing I am using is manufactured in
the U.S.A. For the various calibre of ammunition we will construct in
this book we require tube in the following sizes;
15/32” - 13/32” - 3/8” - 7/16” - and 11/32”
.
For the .38 cartridge case a length of 3/8” tube is required. The vernier
gauge is set to 30mm, and as shown in the photos below, used to scribe
a line around the tube. This is achieved by simply rotating the tube
against the sharp point of the gauge.
This section of tube, measuring 30mm, is now removed. The scribe mark
is the point at which the tube is cut. Brass tube is harder to cut than
ordinary copper plumbing tube so a good quality plumbers tube cutter
is required. I emphasize ‘good quality’. It is perfectly possible to buy a
good quality cutter for around £10. It is well worth spending an extra few
pounds as it will make tube cutting an easier prospect.

Mark the tube.
Cut the tube.
The tube cutter should be carefully rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise
so as to allow the section of tube we require to be removed. It is
important not to rush the tube cutting procedure as this may cause the
cutting wheel to wander leading to an inaccurately cut case.

Square the
case end.
It is of
great importance
to ensure that one end of the tube section (from
here on referred to as the case) is perfectly square. To achieve this the
case is placed in a drill press and the spinning case lowered onto a flat
file, as illustrated in the above photo. It should be noted that the drill
chuck should be tightened by hand only so as not to distort the
roundness of the case. This method of case trimming is just as accurate
as using a small lathe and no different in principle to the case trimmers
used in conventional re-loading practices.
Measure the case.
