BTW. You may not have a case length issue, but a pressure issue. My Norinco 97 doesn't like "high brass" at all. It tends to jamb the action. I guess these Norinco copies are more like the originals that one would think. They're not intended for high pressure "express" loads. Black powder shouldn't cause you any problems, it's relatively low pressure.

If you use plastic hulls, you can trim them to 2.5" or so, and glue the overshot card into the case with fletching glue. You won't even need a press to load them. I load all mine by hand with a dowel and a block of wood! If you look around the 'net, you can sometimes run accross an antique "roll crimp" tool. It will just barely round over the mouth of the hull so that it will slide into the chamber nicely. I rounded over all my brass hulls, but only the first time. After that they hold a nice "rounded over" at the mouth of the hull.
