If you cannot get once fired then your are as well buying Prvi ammunition at around £67/100 enjoying shooting it and then having the fire formed cases for your rifle that you definitely know how many times they have been fired, rather than paying the £40 for just the cases.

An add in the WTBuy forum here would be prudent.

I'm assuming its 7.62x54R for the Moisin Nagant that you are talking about.

Thanks for the information.

I fancy a M44 after looking at a few of the others.

They all look ample for what I need to use them for.

I have been using this method on my 223 but I am finding the cases only last 2-3 reloads even if I anneal them. I don't know if you buy just the cases they will last any longer or if the bigger cases are more resilient.

Hi, Landy Dave,

Is your 223 brass PPU or some other make as I get 5-6 reloads out of my brass PPU Lapua & Remington, once F/L sized & trimmed I only neck size them after that. You should get more than 2-3.
