    I realize shooting some of the less commonly used calibers makes one a scrounger. What looked like cheap 300 WSM was not. The bad news was stuff came from a brand that is notorious for loose primers...

    Thanks. Range brass is great. On the downside I recall in a gun rag many years ago a guy had reloaded some brass that came from the fire barrel.

    I have been playing the idea of no expander ball with separate neck expansion. For me, it would be best to use a tapered expander ball. That would be like Hornady and RCBS use currently.
