Cheers Matt, the kids have already ripped open the package and are now examining the calibres
The .44 magnum and 7.92 are holding most interest at the moment, must be a size thing!
Cheers

No problem, glad to be of help.
It always pleases me that when someone asks for a little assistance the good folk here (and in the shooting fraternity in general I have found) will step up to the plate.
And although Gaz has offered on several occasions to pay for the brass and postage it's always been declined.
Way to go guys.
BTW you shell sound like a 25pdr just by looking at the numbers. Should be just under 3.5" diameter at the shell end.

Update on the "military shelf"
The wifes gone mental
Apparently when she saw we had aquired the tank shell it is now "not on" that this sort of thing should be on the dresser
What do "I" plan on doing with all this stuff she asks. Its not mine dearest, its the kids stuff
ahh well

Only one thing for it - you need a shed.

Yes Matt, I think the shed is going to come into play soon or maybe the kids bedrroom.
I'll ask the kids to try and get round her for a minimal indoor display.
I'd just earmarked some walnut offcuts to make a nice stand for the shell case too
Anyway, tomorrows another day
