    The way ammo and component shortages are going, pulling down rounds may become the only way to get reloading components. My neighbor has 900 rounds of 30-06 reloads he can't use any longer. If I had a 30-06, I'd offer him something for them, but for now he's stuck with them.

    are they not 308 sized bullets? Not familiar with the .06 round. But they are 308 dia. Just different bullet weights, yes?

    You can use the same stuff in 30-06 as you can 308 for the most part. Many of the powders used are the same, and the bullet used is the same.

    It?s not a commie sized 30 caliber

    They are .308, but all i could use is the projectile, unless I tried to "deprime" the brass..no record of what powder it is. He says they shoot great, but all he knows is that they are 150gr pills. I looked at a few... old mil-surp headstamp brass.

    those 150 bullets make nice 308 subs, using trail boss

    As far as depriming them. in todays market and availability, i would.

    Ok review on the Grip-n-Pull:

    Step 1 order Grip-n-Pull.
    Step 2 go get plastidip for the handles and put it on thick. Maybe a few layers. Electrical tape isn't gonna cut it.
    Step 3 it works pretty nicely actually. For 223 it works better gripping it far back close to the end to get it to grip nicely.

    Yeah overall it's really going to come in handy. Back in a bit, going to Ace for some plastidip
    Shot Works Pro... It's better than scrap paper!!!

    Not sure the size of the grips but maybe a couple pieces of conduit or piping would help with both feel and leverage.

    I feel the pain remember the days in denver when I had to load a bunch of rounds different powder charges ect and go to a range to see what worked then come home and pull them all. Now I simply load a couple of rounds test them on site then go load a couple of more and do it again. I do not miss those days it sucks as a reloader.

    Recently I had to reseat 1200 9mm rounds that had too long of a COL. I switched to a FP bullet and the load I had woulnt seat in my p320.

    While you are in WAY deeper having to pull them all, I feel your pain.
