I poked around on the search bar and didn’t find anything really relating to my question but maybe you guys have seen it before. I reload quite a bit of 9mm and occasionally I’ll get batches where one side of the shell has a little warp in it where the base of the bullet is, where as the other side is smooth. It seems as the the bullet has gone is slightly crooked but the tip looks flat when held in a micrometer. I recently loaded up some 124 gr Sig V-crowns made by Sierra and lots of them did it. Mixed brass of Speer, Winchester and others. All of them seem to cycle in my Glock, Sig and S&W just fine so it’s not exactly an issue but I’d prefer to not look at it lol. Any similar experiences? Both rounds in the picture have the little warp but the left round is facing the camera to show the warp and the right round is facing the warp away to show the smooth side. Any input is appreciated. -Randy

Using a Lee ultimate 4 die set from the 1980s I believe.

I just built a p320 xcarry. Pretty neat design they came up with for these FCUs.

I’ve got one you can have if you can wait till the next time I’m down that direction or want to pay shipping. Let me know.

Spragues in Yuma had 9 lbs of H4350 last week if you have any buddies that live there.

Let me know if the sale doesn’t work out please 👍

Thank you!

I have a Ridgeline in 7mm for sale right now on here if you end up finding components.

I have about 160 pieces of old Remington and Winchester Western 7mm rem mag brass. I am curious as to what the quality of this old brass is like compared to new Winchester and Remington. I understand newer brass is considered soft and not as well made but is that also true for old Winchester and Remington brass or was it made better back then like other things? I’ve attached a picture of the boxes to demonstrate their age since I don’t actually know the year or anything. Any input is appreciated!

Good deal thank you, I am going to give that a try tonight with a little tempilaq.

What do you use to chuck the brass in the drill?

That’s great to hear. Are you annealing it as well? I’ve got 100 pieces of Norma brass but I figured if there weren’t any major accuracy differences than I may as well cycle these in branded batches to reduce the number of reloads on it all.

Do you use any particular annealing machine or just heat the necks with a torch for a few 6-8 seconds?

That is certainly a helpful answer and pretty much what I was wondering. I think the way you pose it as reusability is much more appropriate than just general quality. Thank you!
