[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1844224, member: 112246"] We all know you can take an aspirin for heart attacks and headaches. However it won’t help with the potential pain in the astir from dealing with someone else’s brass. IMO just buy bulk new brass or buy ammo when you see it on sale. I’ve never personally experienced reloading those calibers so I can’t offer an opinion on how many reloads you’ll get but I’d say it’s still cheaper then buying factory ammunition. I think you said you wanted to shoot something other the ELDX/M. Here is some Food for thought. Play at your own risk. As an experiment I once pulled some 143gr 6.5CM off factory ammunition. I scaled the powder ( can’t remember how much it was off the top of my head ) but I’ll assume was superformance as that was written on the hornady box ammunition. I re scaled the powder for a latter test. I was careful not to go over the amount and never added another source powder as this is a recipe for disaster. A topped off the brass with a 142 SMK. GOT some good blind data (as I’m not totally sure if it’s “store bought “ superformance powder). It actually shot well out of my bergara. I guess my point is; with a little thoughtful effort, you don’t have to waste the powder and primer. You can fire-form your brass and get some velocity/accuracy data. You just have to load similar weight and style pill. at the end of the day I only use and trust my own loads and brass. [/QUOTE]
