NF1E Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Nice rainy windy day so I am hanging out in the playroom prepping a 500 rnd batch of MEN 7.61 x 51 German surplus berdan brass on it's 3rd loading. 1. Deprimed 2. Annealed 3. Sized 4. Wet tumbled with SS pins. 5. Run through the dryer. Last group of 150 is in the dryer now. In a couple of hours it can come out and get run through the Giraud trimmer. Should be ready for priming and loading in the morning if we have crappy weather again. Open ammo can is for cooling the brass after annealing. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 I'm a big fan of this ammo, price's used to be low. Shot good for me.🍻🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NF1E Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 As far as I am concerned the German berdan brass in the best darn brass for precision reloading and longevity of the cases. Most difficult part today is finding the proper KV-7.62N berdan primers. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NF1E Posted April 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Finished priming 400. Ready to load. Looks like I will be using Sierra 135 gn hollow point fb varminters. Now to go through the record cards and find which powder and load worked the best. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
