Mram that's one of those special 2 piece brass.

I agree, some lists are best kept secretHa. I won't even list the mistakes I've made.
Well, I have 25 pieces of 3x fired Starline brass that I bumped .015 too far. I'm ashamed to admit that it took me a while to get the memo on shoulder bumping (I did get the memo on the TPS reports, however). Anyway, I've got these bumped to 1.565 and they should be at 1.580. I blame RCBS. They tell me to Cam-over and that's what I've been doing until LRH set me straight. It doesn't matter. The shame is almost too much to bear.
Anyway, I figure I'll load them up anyway. It's a .308 with a moderate load anyway so what's the worst that can happen? A little bit of lost brass life? I'll bump them proper next cycle.
I loaded them up (50) with a 74.5 gr r22 I had sitting around with a free box of 285 bthp. I'll take them out today and hope it works. I don't feel like pulling 49 bullets....
I've done this and used bar soap as a cap with great resultsRemove the brake, prime normal, load "unique powder (15 / 20 gr,) work up charge to obtain full movement, put grits above powder to shoulder / neck juncture, top w paper split wad. No damage, no waste, no wear unless you leave brake on which will need to be replaced if not removed. Good luck
