[QUOTE="moxford, post: 2590372, member: 100620"] I really had hopes for a load workup with couple off-book powder/bullet combinations. Found a couple nice nodes, stopped when I saw signs, was pretty happy with velocities ... until I measured case head expansion and primer pockets, most of which were showing expansion even before primers or hard bolt lift or any other signs. Primer pockets have opened up ~ 0.0015 or so in the worst case. Sigh. Mostly just irritated that I used up 30 rounds worth of two sets of components and time and energy/effort (fireformed and uniformed and turned and annealed.) At least set #3 of 15 with different recipe/components went off without a hitch. So I have 30 pieces of nice twice-fired ADG brass which are in good general condition, but have CHE between 0.0005 and 0.0025 to figure out what to do with. I guess I could just toss it, or maybe keep it around as random low-power plinking brass or something (but then I have to deal with keeping it separate and what not.) What would you do with it? Anything besides the above two options? TIA. [/QUOTE]
