I guess I am more like The_Shadow. 600 30-06 seems like a good day at the range.

Of course, I shoot them from two M1 Garands. Self-stuffers always seem to balloon the round count on a range day.

If I had a Garand it might not seem so bad, but in a bolt action thats alot of ammo. I still want a Garand but just found out I'm gonna be a dad and my fun fund is on a brake.

Congratulations!

Done that six times, and highly recommend it.

Well I went and started on the 30'06 brass, sad news though they were not sized...I had virbra tumbled them cleaned and hand deprimed them but never sized them. ${$default_shocked_smiley}$ Good news, I started the sizing process, got 100 sized and primed to load up. I'll get to the other 500+ as time goes on! ${$default_grin_smiley}$

I had major back surgery on the 4th of this month and am back in the hospital right now because of a MRSA infection in my back but I have had my boys helping me by sorting casings and running them through the tumbler.

CW, most of all of the lube is missing! That sort of sucks! I wish you were close by, I could fix that situation for you... ${$default_sad_smiley}$

Well I finished 300 of the 500 I am in the process of doing...M80 147gr FMJ BT over IMR4831

cwlongshot · March 29 2013 06:39:03 PM MDT

Yea none too happy about there packaging... I can fix too, ill run them thru my sizer before loading... Shouldn't have to do that at 23$ per 100 ${$default_angry_smiley}$ ${$default_angry_smiley}$

What ever they use is crap... Its green, Hard and not sticky at all... I have some onld Lyman in one sizer and LBT in the other. The 402 sizer is in the Lyman SO it got ugly but proven BLK Lyman lube! ${$default_wink_smiley}$

e crimps
Did you just forget to size them, or think that you didn't have to? I just got done reloading a bunch of the old Greek surplus stuff. Whew, swaging out the primer holes from the crimps was the worse part.
