    The case mouths will expand if you anneal them. Depending on your chamber dimensions the fire-cold water quench method may leave them too soft and cause problems. The lead dip method is safer. It isn't as extreme, so takes two or three shots to expand the necks fully.

    another option is to use the plastic cases sold by lodgewood, then all you need is to just use a little bit of leverage and .562/.563 bullets will fit in

    I see a lot of people on here who seem to have good results with the plastic Burnside cases. When I first got my Burnside, probably 5-6 years ago, I bought 10 each of the plastic and brass ones. The plastic ones lasted exactly one shot. The thin rim at the mouth of the case melted. Now I suppose I could TRY to reuse them like that, but....................

    I now have 100 brass ones.

    I had one plastic case melt, all the others have held up
