[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3943653, member: 48072"] When I was still stationed in Camp Lejeune, I worked oart time at a local range as an RSO. The pay was crap, but I got to keep as much brass as I wanted from what was shot during the days that I worked. I just about doubled my pay once you factor in all the brass I gathered. I still have 6 of those storage tubs you can get at Wal-Mart full of brass from that job. ************ Yesterday I prepped another 50 rounds of 6.5x47L Lapua brass. I had primed, charged, and seated 50 rounds the previous day. Unfortunately my Forester 6.5x47L seater die leaves a nasty ring around every bullet that it's touched so far. I'm convinced now that my Forester FL sizing die isn't opening the necks quite enough, and I'm getting too much tension. Time to go order an expander mandrel and start experimenting 🤬. ^ Amazingly; even with a Tubb nose ring essentially placed on every bullet with my seater die, my one 6.5x47L still hammers five shots into some tiny little groups around 1/3 MOA.
