If you have all of those emails, one of them should have me asking what brand of brass you wanted to stretch. I had to know that before I could send the order to Rick. Could the conversation have started in a forum thread somewhere, where that was clarified before you first contacted me by email?
If nothing else, you probably remember what brand you were working with when you decided to buy a Kal-Max...no?
In any case, a punch intended for Remington and Bell cases should be ~.468" in the hardened/polished area, and a Starline punch will measure ~.471".
If you have two punches, you probably have both sizes...and now you know which one is for which brass.
To try to make 45/90 cases from 45/70 brass, I would probably be tempted to use the larger diameter...even if it was Remington brand cases I wanted to modify.
The same die works for all because it's an 'external dimension' which all chambers are governed by. The punch is an 'internal thing' that varies by brass manufacturer.Assuming I have the correct punch to handle Rem. brass I will also need a Starline punch since my Browning .45-90 chamber is 2.423". I assume the same die will work with Rem. & Starline?
At least, that was true with the original punches. The adjustable punch has an 'in between' diameter, with an adjustment for 'depth' in the case. It works for any brand that is stretchable.
After you measure those two punches, we can see what you might need...
