.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

Annealing them properly will bring the brass back to factory specification or close, you will see more consistent neck tension and less vertical dispersion.

Alpha1 wrote:Yes I have. I could sort you some out they are mostly once fired all though they will need depriming re sizing etc. If you pay the postage I could send you some. Just pm me.

Are you still using that lovely shiny automatic one you made?

If the ground is muddy or wet I do open the bolt gently and catch them... razz
