I need to load some .350 Legend for the AR that I’m building. Buying used brass for it is an issue, so I’m picking up some factory ammo, and will make my own used brass.

Ja! keep it supersonic and all should be good. Transonic is where the accuracy demons live.... One day it might be "x" yards, the next, (due to environmentals), could be plus or minus..... fun stuff to experiment with.and spin drift...and the 168 falling sub-sonic...the temp...the...altitude...the humidity...and probably a few more
Let’s see that new stock!Restocked my Ruger American 243 today. I decided to try a new load for my 243's. I have always used 100 gr. bullets in my 243's but since I have a good supply of 85 gr. BTHP's I think I will try them. I us the 85's in my 6 mm's and they shot holes in holes. I have also killed a few deer with them. Load up a few with 37 gr. of IMR 4895. I'll try them out this weekend.
I tried
checked out some 300BLK and played for a few.
then got to remembering the .243 ProHunter stuff but started on 6.5WSM. Was going to pull the last 4 rounds...no insert for mag cases to be found. Got the collet puller out...case won't fit into the Forster...no .264 insert for the Hornady...smh
then moved to neck sizing and decapping. Did a quick case inspection and there is a clear extrctor mark on about 10 of the new Norma cases I used for the loads that were too hot...hate to throw out once fired cases. Put my new neck bushing in to get it back to .002 neck tension...from the .003 I found I was getting. Something funny going on with die...but finally got it. Pushed the first primer out but not far enough. Readjusted the stem and tried again. OH Wait!...the pin fell out when I put it back...thought I heard it fall. Can't find it anywhere so I dig a new one out of backup. Pulled the die back apart and put it in the vise so I could tighten it better. Put the die back together and tried again. Found the pin...it was in the bottom of the piece of brass...yep...ran the new pin in and bent it...smh. Put the first pin back in and finished necking those 10 cases then ran them through the body die and decide to quit since I wasn't sure I want to use any of those cases.
Maybe a fresh start tomorrow will help.
