Fireformed 50 cases of .243 AI today from already twice fired Winchester brass. The loads were Sierra and Hornady 100 grain bullets with book max charges (for the parent .243) of RL-22 and H-4831 as listed in the respective manuals.

The cases had been annealed by the candle method outlined in John Barsness� book �Obsessions of a Rifle Loony� and also here:

All 50 survived the transition without a single loss and they are all well filled out with sharp shoulders, so I anticipate the remaining 47 of this lot will do okay as well. Mule Deer had asked me to report back so I wanted to post this update.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
