[QUOTE="aldeerhunter, post: 1356117, member: 99345"] Just wanted to say thanks again for the replies and advice. I got there following the direction given. Let me start by saying I am not impressed with the Remington 8mm brass. Seems softer than the Nosler and is harder to deal with. I had to start by using the 300 neck die. Then I used the .257 full size die which left a doughnut above the shoulder. So, I then used the 6.5 Hornady and then resized again with the full size die .257 die. The bottom photo is the virgin sized brass. The top is the first fired brass and one loaded round. [ATTACH=full]83117[/ATTACH] For anyone interested. I started with 73 grains of 7828 which averaged 3625fps. Once I form the last five roinds I will be ready to work up the load. [/QUOTE]
