.243 and 7-08 are easier to find.
.308 is a bit more work to resize, but plentiful and cheaper.
.243 is a easy reform. 7-08 isn't bad, either.

308 gets to be a job. After sizing, usually need a trim. Then there's those pesky crimped primers. Cheap brass, but PITA.

I have a good quantity of all 4 calibers.
Spent years reforming 7mmMag from belted, range scrounge. Always fun when someone picks up your rounds and looks at headstamp.

I have gotten to the point of using headstamp to identify my loading.
.243 = 120gr Nosler
.260 = 120gr Barnes-X
7-08 = 130gr Sierra
.308 = 140gr ELD-X

Funny I was up there in Tulsa last month. It was a leave right now thing and get there fix situation and drive back.

Then I went to Love valley by the red river to score a hog and a couple deer.
I could have been the OKC and south OK pack mule.
I actually thought about you but it was 10:30 PM by the time I got to Tulsa.

I think last yellow brass I took to standard iron was 1.25 a pound..I can call tomorrow.

AAAHHH found this.

Maybe I can pack mule it for a big group buy in the city here..get guys together.
My car gets 33+ MPG so gas is not that bad.. not like a truck that gets 12.
