Some times the Fed primers are a bit small for straight walled hulls. The other brands I find a bigger the Rio ones being the biggest.
A little project for you to keep you busy.
New side line for you!
Yeah I should start casting n selling slugs, I have 3 molds to choose from Already!
If you cast some 700gn 500’s i’ll buy em off you i know i need a .50 mould but have no idea about weights when i looked at it
Then you just have to worry about lead poisoning!
I’ve got a well ventilated spot for casting so I’m not to fussed about it.
Need to have a look at what postage would cost to send em to people.
So will they be called GUN-Projectiles or GUN-Slugs?
probably the best postage would be the 3kg, 5kg fixed price Aus post satchels. put a box inside to stop breakage. Once fired sends his brass this way. Not that I would do that again, just not worth it. Brass fired in AR’s streched to the max dints everywhere. Must have small base die.
I bought a bunch of 30-06 from him and apart from there being a milsurp berdan primed case (which cost me a decapping pin) it was all good.
I’d buy brass from him again, maybe just avoid 223.
$15 odd postage For a 3kg pack, which will hold 80 odd of the big slugs, that’s pretty reasonable!
I have a small base die that I am never likely to use if you want it.
I didnt have a problem with him as such. It was more the economics of it all. I purchased 223 and at the time the price per 100 for the once fired was about 2/3 of new ADI/OSA brass $38 per 100. When I factored in the amount of case prep time even on the basis of not really valuing my time very much it was a lot of work.
Are you trying to corrupt him lol.
I gather that they are made better than the new ones.
He is currently trying to reload shitty ribbed clay hulls.
They are ribbed for your pleasure!
