A friend got one built on a British Martini action and needs some case forming assistance.
It seems to me that it would be best to start from 7-30 Waters brass and then the key would be in annealing. Other than that it should be pretty straight forward.
There are some differences. As in Donnelly the actual length base to shoulder is 1.63" rather than 1.58". He tried fireforming S&B .22 Savage HP brass but it was apparently too brittle and "shattered".
