These Zinc Alcans are a PITA. The whole hull stretches and has to be resized if they're shot in a different gun with slightly small chambers. Had to take my old Lee hand set and use the big tube that holds the shell and force it in with a arbor press. Then adjust a vice so the tube wouldn't fit through but the shell would and with a wooden dowel beat it out. Guess that's why they never caught on. My guess, shooters got pissed and threw them away.
