Yeah, I've bought a box or two of factory loads, for the first time in years.... just for the brass....

before folks think I am nuts....

it was Federal 243 on sale for $12.99...

brought it home and disassembled it...

Then reloaded it with what I wanted it for...

That batch of 20 is on its 30th reload at the moment..

30 grains of 4198... with 75 to 85 grain bullets...

been a 'go to the range' or 'out in the woods' plinking loads..or feeding a truck gun when I got out driving in our zillion miles of Forest Service roads..
