[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1075013, member: 69478"] Yesterday I sat downstairs and prepped 40 WCC military casings that I acquired a while ago. I converted 60 of the original one hundred into .308 Normas previously so only had forty .300s left to work with. This stuff seems to be good brass. I FL sized them, trimmed them to 2.610", deburred and chamfered the case mouths, uniformed the primer pockets, and then threw them in the tumbler to clean them up. Not one casing had a burr in the flash hole, but I went ahead and made sure and checked them all with a flash hole deburring tool. They are still in the tumbler, but I plan on priming them tomorrow with Remington 9 1/2 Magnum Rifle primers. Going to start working a load up using IMR 7828 and a 190 SMK. Ordering my rings and base on pay day (Thursday) so will have the rifle rolling by next week. Looking into a Leupold Mark 4 base with 15 MOA and Leupold PRW 30mm rings. May change my mind but my cousin has PRW rings on his .240 now and he really likes them and they look sturdy. Don't want to spend too much over $100 so high dollar rings are out of the question right now, just want something that is stout and looks good. I found the base for like $60 and the rings for $52 so I am a little over my budget but not by much. Any suggestions or general conversation is appreciated. Really looking forward to how it shoots so I will keep you all updated. gun) [/QUOTE]
