The primers are hammered flat too; any further and I would not even considering using it, but I can hit a clay at 500 yards 9 out of 10 times so it is hard to let it go. Maybe if you anneal your brass you will have better luck near the max pressures.
    Good to know. My rifle has a 22" barrel, and this is the elk load, so it won't get a lot of these rounds through it. I won't have the powder or time to shoot like I did last year. I've added a bow to the arsenal and I need much, much practice and strengthening with it, though. Given SA Friday's comments on my 150 load, I just unloaded the hotter test rounds and loaded everything up at 46 grs. Why mess with what works?

    You got another one huh? I need to insulate and heat my garage so I can do the same. Called Giraud, he is going to get back to me today about the .308 discs for the annealer.

    Fiddled with the crimp on my 9mm loads, loaded up another 100 rounds after de-crimping these stupid WCC crimped once-fired cartridges... The little, cheap Lee chamfer tool works great for that task!!

    I hated the crimp on WCC and FC cases so bad that I would have nightmares about them after a long day of reloading.

    Rubbing my little paws together with maniacal chipmunk glee that I managed to snag a bottle of Unique all to myself. Sad, no?
