While we're on the subject of brass.....
I have some questions for you all. I have recently completed [U]reforming[U] 7.62X39 Russian brass (Winchester headstamp), into 6.5 Grendel. The brass has been annealed, sized to 6.5G, then trimmed to length. Since it's 762X39, it has the large rifle primer. Looking thru the Sierra#6 reloading manual, they comment on the 22PPC cartridge, which can also be made from 762X39, saying to be cautious, as the larger primer, can cause pressures to spike 'Dramatically'. I'm not a big fan of drama in reloading. Ranks right up there with 'Catastrophic'.
Do any of you shoot any 762X39 reformed brass? This brass has yet to be fire-formed. I will be fire-forming it (tentatively) with a 123 grain HPBT, over 25.0 grains of Win 748.
-Is a 'Step-Up' in my Life Insurance policy required? Inquiring minds, and all....
Thanks.
