[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 2945507, member: 114372"] I have some 30.06 brass that got oversized/bumped back way too far. In order to save it, here's what I'm going to do. First, I will anneal the brass. Then, I have some cast bullets that I am going to seat to jam length. I will load them with a reduced charge of a fast powder, and fire form them back to chamber size. My idea with the bullets jammed is to force the cases rearward so that the shoulder will easily fireform forward, before the case expands and is trapped in the chamber. Actually shooting them with some lube on them has been suggested to me as well, for the same reason. If I recall, these somehow got bumped to about .014" more or less. I had set them aside some time ago, so it's a bit "foggy." Ya know, old man and all... Then of course, paper clip them good. Actually, I find these to be handier than a paper clip, and are dam handy to have around anyway: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.harborfreight.com/mini-pick-and-hook-set-63697.html[/URL] Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
