Load of PPU - pm if interested.Stuck wrote:Alpha1 wrote:Yep one guy in our club who has more money than sense emails one of our members who is a registered firearms dealer and orders his ammo for the range day and lots of it. He shoots the ammo then chucks the cases in the bin.
.308 .303 6.5x55 .223 etc. I just empty the bin into the back of my car. He is not the only one either they don't have the time its to complicated to re load them etc. I am not going to enlighten them. I love it.
Got any .303 cases going spare? smile2

I still haven't got any rifle cases fired more than 3 times yet, so have only just got to trimming...but annealing may well be approaching...ovenpaa wrote:Mick, they will need annealing by now. As the cases are fired/resized the brass starts to work harden which leads to a greater and more inconsistent level of neck tension. Annealing them properly will bring the brass back to factory specification or close, you will see more consistent neck tension and less vertical dispersion.
Are you still using that lovely shiny automatic one you made?

Nope, the original version sits under the work bench giving the spiders somewhere to sleep.Dougan wrote:I still haven't got any rifle cases fired more than 3 times yet, so have only just got to trimming...but annealing may well be approaching...

Re: Case Life
The one to watch is Dirtbag of this forum, he is a left handed shooter with right handed rifles and catches the cases with his free hand in mid air and without looking. Serious Jedi stuff...Dougan wrote:If the ground is muddy or wet I do open the bolt gently and catch them...billgatese30 wrote:If you ever have a surplus, give me a shout.
