That's Mr Asshole to you
Got some loads figured out and made more.
.264 win mag gets 63.5 grains of IMR 8133 with a 140grain Hornady SST. Producing about a half inch group.
Also trying out some powder charges for a 129grain Nosler Accubond long range.
30-06 gets 58 grains of RL-23 with 165grain Barnes TSX. .668" group with this recipe so I am good with that from this rifle.
Still need some more .243 rounds with the loading figured out for it but this was enough for today.

Not yet. I am happy with the groups I am getting for now from the 3 rifles I am loading for. I do know my 30-06 load is not going to seat any deeper because it's pretty much a compressed load. Those Barnes bullets are long since they are copper.

So beautiful... but damn 400 pieces of 300 Win Mag is going to take a few minutes to process. This is just 250 cases; the other 150 are still processing in the tumbler. I am going to order more ammo cases so I can properly store the loaded ammo once done.

That is a beautiful sight. Are you just tumbling or using an ultrasonic as well? How does the primer pocket look? Want to send me some (even if dirty)? I'm told that I'm going to inherit my Grandfathers 300 win mag soon. He said he "doesn't need that many guns"
This has all just been ran through a tumbler right now. I will run them through the ultrasonic cleaner and then tumbler after I fire form them. The primer pockets have all been firm but not too tight and the flash hole has been dead center on each one. I am really loving this WW Super brass. The guy I scored it from probably has some more but most of his stock is "as available" so buy it when you see it. He runs some pretty hot deals on his Facebook page too. I had to stay off of it for a while because I was killing my slush fund.

Hey I accidentally ordered 3 100 round cases for Mangum rounds. They are a little big for my 260. I'd trade you 3 regular 308 sized cases if you have any spares
Let me see what I have; not sure I have any 308 Win sized cases. Nothing else I can buy them off you.

Cup side. The liquid will make the primer go inert.

I was thinking that I have sprayed brass with OneShot after priming, but I guess I must not have. I think I always tumble, lube, deprime/resize, tumble, prime, load. I guess it's just been a while since I've done any. I'm getting uncomfortably low on my 9mm, so I should probably work on getting a reloading table setup at the new house. Right now I just have 4 or 5 boxes of stuff.
That makes sense.
I've read that 10 loads is about the expected life for any rifle brass. You can get more out of handgun brass because there is essentially no neck to expand.
