You can load them light but is it worth it. What are you really saving, nothing really. I usually keep a few for the bullet boad and junk the rest. Its just not worth it.

Well I loaded 'em up and shot 'em.

I even did what GOB suggested. Used Trailboss. Talk about a wimpy powder!!! I was not surprised I could see the bullet going downrange...Just teasing ya GOB!! They worked just fine but I think I am going to just hammer 'em and throw 'em in the recycle box. Do y'all know the price of scrap brass?? Holy Cow. Next thing I have to do is to resize some 243 to 260 Rem brass. I have so much 243. I have a set of neck stretching dies from RCBS for all sorts of calibers.I used to use 'em to do 30-06 to 35 Whelen. They are old but don't think you could wear 'em out. I know that 260 brass is not so hard to find but being cheap I want to use some of that 500 pieces of 243 once fired I have. I want to use that Kimber 260 I got last month. I put a Nikon 4x12 on it and need to sight it in....and go shoot me a coyote 'er sumpin with it.. Then the next thing i got to do is clean up some 223 brass I got at a yard sale today. It's military once fired and got at least 500 for a penny a piece..well 5 bucks for the bunch. Only good thing I even saw at the yard sales this mawnin. Well I saw a Remington 11-87 with 2 bbls and 2 stocks but the guy wanted 650 bucks sheesh. I offered 500..and left my name and number when he said no. I thunk 500 might have been a bit high
