From the photo that brass still has the crimp...
I haven't reloaded anything in awhile. Got a little itch.
Loaded up some .223 FMJs 26 grains of varget. Im gonna use up the rest of my powder or primers in the next day or too. Should have been more on point about having a good supply of components.
Had several cases that the primer didnt want to go in. Ruined 1 for sure. may go thru the cases i have and toss the rest of that stamp.

This is a very good point especially if you don't have a family member that reloads. Separate components will be much easier for your family to get rid of when you pass on.I got enough loaded for the time being .... but I manage to keep some empty sized brass on hand.... wouldn't take long to put together a lot more ....
I like to keep components and empty sized brass unloaded ... Ain't many folks that want shoot an old man's reloads ..... I got a few friends that may but not many ...
I do love Sierra Blitzkings in my 243, 6mm Creed, and 22-250.
Bull, I wouldn't go out and just waste it, unless you have more than you think you may need. I suggest if someone wants to shoot they should limit their rounds to a specific purpose.
I pulled out some 140 Accubonds for my 6.5x55 yesterday and those suckers are super long. No wonder the 6.5s have such a reputation for penetration.Just finished up my 260 loads. Forgot how long that 140gr Balistic tip looks. Now I need to work on a load fort 257 Robert's.

I found 5000 Federal AR match 205m small rifle primers on the top shelf of the reloading closet.
And those long bullets kill much better than their paper ballistics would have you believe. The Scandinavians have been killing moose with those long, moderate velocity bullets for a hundred years.It's all about the Sectional Density
I can’t seem to get the long bullets to group in my two Swedes. The closest is a 130 Scirrocco. The 125 Partitions work in both.I pulled out some 140 Accubonds for my 6.5x55 yesterday and those suckers are super long. No wonder the 6.5s have such a reputation for penetration.
