[QUOTE="Paper boy, post: 1907419, member: 110735"] First, I am assuming you rifle is a bolt gun. Second, where or through what kind of firearm were they fired from, and third, areb they really "Once Fired" This is how I see it. If your expecting to reload the "Once fired" rember, it's on it's second go around, (maybe). Next, I am an advocate of fire forming brass in the rifle it is intended for. The next issue is, has the used brass already cut to length? Every time brass is fired it streatches out a bit. Where the elongation comes from is an over all thining of the case, now, you may need to cut it again. This continued thinning increases case volume which also throws off you load data. I use Peterson, Lupua and ADG only. You would think I was spending far too much. Absolutley NOT. The best deal in new brass is Peterson. Great brass at a fair price. Lapua and ADG are over priced some what but lets look at this way. I always full length size my brass. I know how many time they were resized because I did it. I also use Lee collet dies (cheap, about $26 per caliber) this keeps the necks uniform, I clean MY once fired in a fluid tumbler with stainless pins and clean the primer pockets with a brush. I know it is a lot of work, but. With Peterson, Lapua, and ADG I am getting between 8, to as many as 15 reloads on my "too expensive brass" Overall, it costs me LESS than using once fired brass. About 30% by the numbers. keep this in mind. The cheapest way often costs more. [/QUOTE]
