If you chuck the brass in a lathe, you should able to simply wind the tail stock onto the brass with the #2 adapter installed and you're done.
My brass is still in transit but if someone else has the opportunity to try this before I do, please let me know.
P.S. This thread is an absolute gem. I am sure that I will reference it often when I'm load mine up. Thank you very much to the O.P.!

I wish II still had a lathe available to me!
