[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1148629, member: 25383"] The reason we used the once fired brass was simply because we didn't have any cases, and their rules spec'd that brass and bullet. I didn't notice any bent brass, or anything like that, other than some cases that were crushed in the neck area. Have no idea what the barrel and chamber were like as I never saw their rifles. But was offered the chance more than once. If the shoulders were short, I never noticed it, but never really checked the head space. Yet I set the die up very slightly long so as not to push the shoulder back any. The guy we borrowed the die from shot service rifle with an M14 or an M1 Garand in .308. On the other hand another guy I knew had a bunch of brass he shot thru an HK, and the brass was literally junk after one firing. What I wish I'd done now was to check the fired cases out o the rifle he used. The gauge I used most of the time back then was kinda crude, but would pick up a banana instantly. Never saw any. Ralph was some kind of a big time shooter in the Marine Corp before going to Vietnam. Have no idea what he did over there as he rarely talked about it. When he came home he was out of the military even though he was a high ranking NCO. Then about ten years later he joined the Army Reserve. When Ralph and I first met; I was just learning to use a Neco gauge, and he saw me checking some cases on a surface plate. Just trying it out as I had a bunch of dial indicators to pick from. As for their rifles, the only thing I know about them was that they were pretty much basic sniper rifles that were built out of select parts off site (where?) gary [/QUOTE]
