Abstract: A method and tooling for forming a cartridge case blank comprising backward extruding a tube from a length of wire stock in multiple backward extrusion steps with progressive tooling to obtain an intermediate blank that can be finish drawn without a preceding annealing step and which if otherwise not subjected to multiple backward extrusion steps, would require annealing prior to finish drawing to avoid tearing.

The guidance tool includes an attachment member that removably attaches to the ACC assembly. The guidance tool also includes a guide surface that guides the adjustment tool toward the adjustment member when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly.
