I don't see a problem at 97% fill . I'd use a drop tube funnel , it will help settle the powder in the case as you pour it in . I'm pretty sure the nosler book uses what's known as ; usable case capacity . this is the usable capacity with the seated bullet being considered . the...

they sell decapping dies with a small pin . . I'd look into this before you scrap the brass .

I'll be 64 in June . I've been less interested in hunting the last 4 or 5 years . at one time I was whitetail hunting 2 or 3 states and sometimes going west for elk . my last couple western elk hunts were solo DIY hunts .no one was interested in joining . I dropped out of the group I...

I can see 3 or 4 zip ties through that hole , lasting a lifetime .

maybe I over looked it , what is the rifle chambered in ?

Merry Christmas to all

amazing we are excited to be "ONLY " paying $60 per a thousand of primers . at todays prices you did great .
