[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 942458, member: 12995"] I would use regular old .30-06 brass. No trimming, and simple to buy and pickup at the range. Heck, you can even buy some nice Lapua 30-06 brass for about $1.00 each. And that's the best brass on the planet. Norma/Nosler brass is right up there, too. Plus, load data is fairly simple for the AI once you form your brass. Start with .30-06 load data then slowly work your way up till you find pressure signs. Also, when you fire-form the brass, once he resets the chamber, use a light load of powder. Too hefty of a load can cause the necks and shoulders to split during expansion. I use about 45gr of Alliant Reloder 19 and a cheap Nosler Custom Comp 155gr bullet. For $165, that's not too bad, especially compared to what I have heard some folks charge. For $165, you might can talk him into truing that action for you, and working the trigger, as well... You know, while he's already got it broken-down in pieces and sitting on the bench. :D [/QUOTE]
