    Just to clarify the post of grandpamac that's not case volume hes referring to case weight. I don't think you could squeeze 155 grains of powder into a case smaller than a 50 cal bmg

    Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it. I have some brass and just recently bought some from this site. Weigh it, batch it and work up following safe practice is now the plan.

    All this talk about chainsaws and no one has commented on that fine looking wheelbarrow, my dad has one just like it and they're the definition of a workhorse.
