[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 794092, member: 39764"] I'm going to load 165 Sierra GK's with Federal 210M primers and probably Varget or 322, plenty of both and 335. I bought copious quantities prior to, not that I knew because I didn't. I have to do a load ladder for the new rifle so it's 5 of each powder weight. I have at least 3000 of that flavor and at least 1000 in 338 caliber, 250's and 300's, or enough to retire with....Oh, I'm already retired....lol I gnerally keep a lot of powders on hand because I'm the designated reloader for our hunting group. I have 5 ammunition hungry guys to load for....everybody pulled a tag but me. Oh well, I'll still get some elk in the freezer. I like the 322-335 because thats to go-to powders for 223's in 60 grain V-Max and I load piles of those as well as Hornady SPBT's. I was just out in the shop looking at my brass in 308 tnat I've had collecting for a while now. I shoot first time and FL resize in Comp dies then segregate to MTM boxes per rifle. After the F/L, it's all N/S and trim if required. Only time I F/L is if I have a sticky ejection issue. Cabelas loves me. I have a bunch of pismuckle green boxes. The first thing I'd do is the vice grip test before considering annealing. You don't really know where the cracking came from or the condition of the necks and annealing an already annealed case neck does nothing to enhance anything and can actually cause more issues. Are you media tumbling in a bowl or tumbling in a rotary? When I looked at them, I considered tumbling (rotary) in Stoddard Solvent with a detergent rinse and a clear rinse with Lemshine. Lots of fiddling but then, tar belongs on the road, not in your brass..... I spent the weekend tricking the CVA Accura V2's I'm thinking more and more about just shooting the smoke pole. Finally, lets see how this Wideners order in 308 OFLC 12-13 looks when I get it. I should have it Tuesday and I'll be looking hard at the necks. [/QUOTE]
