NF1E Posted September 1, 2024 Report Share Posted September 1, 2024 Opened a new 1K bag of Starline .223 brass. Initial prep includes de-burring and unitizing the flash holes, run a tapered carbide neck mandrel for a .003 tension, trim and mouth prep with a Giraud trimmer, weight sort and bag for 1 gn or closer segregation.

NF1E Posted September 1, 2024 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2024 Finished up the last of them a few minutes ago and weight sorted to 1 gn for now. Weight on Starline was all between 93 and 95 so pretty good to start. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NF1E Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Prepping new Starline .223 brass today. When received some time ago it was sorted into .1 gn lots. Pulled out 150 of the 93.9 gn bag for 3 range boxes and set the neck tension at .002. Will be loading with 73 gn Berger's over 24 gn of IMR-8208 using BR-4 primers. This load had been running at 2850 in the past out of my Savage 110 bolt rifle with a 26" Criterion 1-7 varmint profile barrel. Whatta Hobby!
