[QUOTE="BillR, post: 611559, member: 462"] Its all I use for my .308. I picked up about 1000 empty machine gun brass. Really was a PITA to get them all re sized due to their being so over sized but I managed. What the heck, it was free. The end results is fantastic though and the gun will if I do my part shoot under 1/4" if the moon and sun are just right. Its as tough a brass as any out there and mine seems to last forever. I do anneal my brass every other loading and so far have not lost a case and I have been trying to see how many loads from a small number of brass I can get before it goes bad but after 10 loadings it is still going. Cutting the military crimp on the primer pocket was not a problem. I bought a RCBS Primer pocket swedge and just run them all over one of those and some I had to do twice to get it to let me seat a primer but once done their no different than any other case. One of the guys on the board suggested that I use mink oil for a lube as I kept sticking cases so I gave it a try and after that I seldom stuck a case. To begin with I was sticking one in three cases in my reloading die. Once it is fired it is really great brass to work with though. [/QUOTE]
