Thread: wanted, 30-06 brass

I've got a heap of it, but I couldn't tell you how many times it has been reloaded. Mostly neck sized. Different brands. You can ahve it if you can't find any more. Will be a lot of work to turn it to 8x57. Gunworks have Norma brass for about $80 for 50.
What projectile and powder are you going to use in your 8x57? I'm running 50gr H335 and 150gr Sierra soft point in mine, getting approx 2600fps from an 18" barrel.

On the video he annealed it then put through the F/L sizer trimmed with a lee trimmer in the drill and done. Not too much work as I enjoy that type of stuff. Rather get cheap/free brass do that and lose it over buying new brass and losing it.

Not sure on a load yet but got some 2208 so will probably go with 150 sierra gamekings or something.
