Description
This is a unique high performance 37MM screw apart aluminum shell that does not require a blank cartridge for propulsion. It utilizes a 2 ½” Remington large pistol primer and has it’s own high pressure chamber machined into the base housing. The primer pocket is machined out of stainless steel and held in by a stainless steel snap ring. The vent plug is removable via a hex drive to load smokeless powder and a vent plug wad.
This shell uses our Standard XD Burst Disks.
Please Note: Confirm measurements to insure Outer Diameter and Shell Length of this tube will fit your launcher barrel!
This base can be interchanged with our smokeless 37 MM XD and .45 ACP charged bases.
Not all bases will be engraved. Shipping may be delayed while product is anodized.
Please check the Inside Diameter, Depth and Length measurements to be certain that wads and projectiles will fit in your shell casing.
Shell Specs:
- Shell Length: 5.75″
- Outside Diameter of Tube: 1.525
- Inside Diameter: 1.380″

The best option for burst disks is the 0.7840″ diameter, 0.016″ thick Copper. One casing was loaded 15 times with the 8 grain loads and a solid carrier for weight and resistance, and the casing and vent plug performed perfectly (THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND IS DANGEROUS). Each loading had very nice recoil, no primer push, and no signs of too much stress.
Each load in the table above was loaded 5 times, in the same casing, to check for power, and to make sure the loads were safe, and could be duplicated without casings wearing out, or the loads causing stress that might cause a casing to fail. These are simply guidelines and anyone attempting to load their casings must understand injury and/or death can be a result of loading your own shell. Pace Launcher Casings LLC. cannot be held responsible for injury caused using our loading guidelines as they are simply “guidelines” and cannot be guaranteed to work.
