Im just glad to see you doing some sort of load work

If you wouldn’t mind sharing, what is your process for once fired brass as well? Also will you be doing any type of load development, like testing different powder charges or seating depths or is this mostly about testing different case prep. Thanks for doing this, will be following along

I’ll absolutely be testing different seating depths, charge weights and even powders at some point.

The brass prep testing is just a quick and dirty one and done type test to kick it off.

My current fired brass prep is..

De-prime
Imperial Lube case
FL size
Wipe off lube
Bush/moly necks.
Expand with mandrel
Prime

Something I normally do once all my brass is once fire though, is run it all through the Henderson trimmer before I FL size, to the get the COAL’s all exactly the same. Then I don’t trim them again generally.

Any idea when any of the big name companies such as Ruger, Savage, Tikka, and the like might be putting rifles out in this caliber? I want one, but I would like to have one as a truck gun for coyotes and other varmints.
