Reloading, Pros and Cons

[Gamerancher]

That's fine but I have had new 7-08 cases that were already over max length (Remingtons). Apart from the one that stopped at the base of the neck, that is, had no neck.
Quality control? What's that?

New R+P unprimed 204 case. Usually get a few like this from a bag of 100. Assumed running new cases through the die was standard practise?

It is for me and I dare say for all experienced reloaders. But, we are supposed to be answering the O.P's original question and pointing him in the right direction.
I have seen inexperienced fella's buy new brass and just start loading with the mindset that it is new therefore it will be right.

On the side of pro.
Came home from work and chucked 100 cases into rotary tumbler.
Hour and a half later shiny goodness got rinsed and popped into dehydrator, along with the media...
Went out again.
Came home 2 hours later, turned everything off to cool.
About to charge them and bam! Range day prep complete. Kinda like cooking dinner and doing dishes only in reverse and with ammo

Only con is start up cost. The rest is pros.
Making beer is even better cause the start up cost is s**t loads less.

Ok you have talked me into it , thanks, I think doing a very rough calculation on cost I think I could get the ball rolling for about three quarters of the cost of a tikka give or take, but the more I read the more it feels like the sensible thing to do, especially with my future purchasing of rifles plan for the next 12 months, who knew this would become so addictive
Thanks again

OB, starting to think you and I are what some might refer to as hillbillies.
Brewing our own beer, rolling our own ammo, making our own jerky and biltong. I even have the tobacco pipe.

Now... Just to find me a nice rocking chair...

Lol. Gave up the fags about 16 years ago. There are a few here make beer. I'm into stout and dark ales.
