Yeah, I'm hoping to get 3 or 4 loadings out of the brass. With 200 cases, that will likely be the life of the barrel if I pace myself.
My brass is still in good shape after 3 firings, but it's too danged hard. I'm having trouble with setting the shoulder back. It'll set, but won't stay. That, and it takes so much force to size them, I'm afraid I'll rip my press off the bench.
It's a bullet pulling kinda night. I've got 63 bullets to pull. 44 of the 162gr SST and 19 of the 139gr SST.
I'll start off testing loads for the 162gr A-Max and then try the 160gr Speer HotCore just because I have them and nothing else seems to really like them.
Again, just waiting to get a replacement stock for this rifle before load work can commence. No reason not to have the brass ready, though.

Of course not! So, why spend the money on a brake......twice!?
Is there such a thing? Of him?

They have a date with a propane torch.
