Which one? the 25acp or the vari-flame?
I use the 25acp - Get it from Precision... Don't believe everything you read on the site - remember he is trying to sell em... but they are good very good.... and very clean...

RE: Blowback issues
I have an extra breech plug for the Apex. Could I have that reworked to the right hole size and the right depth or is there a lot more to the 25ACP conversion than that?
Thanks, Art

A machinist could certainly do it... Some on here decribed the process and what drills to use...
Does anybody recall which thread that was?

RE: Blowback issues
Thanks for the link. I'm wondering how I would go about trimming the brass to a uniform length. BTW Underclocked, I took things apart this morning and cleaned and oiled everything good. It was pretty easy. Thanks for the push

RE: Blowback issues
Ideally, a case trimmer. But you could get creative as I don't think we would be talking about removing a large amount of brass. I think it would be important to have the holes drilled to just an RCH 
(ok, maybe a thousandth of an inch) less deep than the shortest case you might have. That would mean obtaining a bunch of cases in advance and measuring them for length. I understand that if you buy in bulk you may get some a bit longer than others.
In certain actions, a bit of extra case length is a plus as the open end of the case will be forced into the > shape where the drill stops. In an action with no mechanical advantage, an exact fit would probably be more critical. What you don't want is a hole deeper that the case along its parallel walls.
