The Tiger 1 is now completed and running well, here in Quebec Canada it is impossible to get blank cartriges so I will have to make then myself
What I need to know is the quantity of powder I need to put into the cartriges.

G’day Raymond
It depends on what powder (fine or course) you are using
For length (crimped) I don’t go full length I have them about 3mm short of the stop
What I do is do up primer one only cut and crimped about 24 and test the unit
Then I make up loads starting with ½ full then working up
The trouble I am having is in the crimp it must finish with the smallest centre hole possible
I have used rolling tobacco paper as a wad however do not paint over the crimp hole as sometimes used in movie blanks as I have a very bad result
Hope this helps
