"So bananaheads don't do what you are talking about doing, jeez
If you're going to do the job just belly-up to the bar and do the job right.
Anything else is dangerous"
Uh, wha-huh? Too many euphemisms. Are you saying that a primer pocket can't be swaged .007" to fit a Boxer, because it's been done successfully by numerous folks without issue --it's just not practical. Not when Starline sells new brass. Obviously if that ever ceases, then converting the cases makes a little more sense (not much more, though ). If 7.5x55 ran at 5.56 pressures, I might be a tad warier, but it don't (quite). Many success stories of it being reloaded numerous times and the primers staying tight.
Until Starline/etc. ceases production, the most economical use for GP11 brass is to sell it to dummies who want to try converting it (or to the lucky/wise few who managed to stock up on Berdan primers and who care to manually remove them). At least I can rest easy knowing the stretched out, fluted, bent up, double-shouldered GP11 brass ejected from the STGW57 will be utterly unusable . No temptation
