another thing you can do with the shorter/lighter bullets is fireforming.

Just like making wildcat ammo brass, make a nice moderate load with the shorter bullet, fire it, now you have brass fireformed to your particular chamber. only do neck/shoulder resizing but keep track of OAL.

as long as you arent pushing hot loads through it, you'll get some decent milage out of them.

this is just one of the things i do from time to time and it works fine, just keep an eye on the brass itself, if it looks like it's atarting to stretch, full length resize it, check it for all dimensions, and if it looks good, use it, if not, scrap it and start with new brass.
