It still dropped right into the case gauge.

It's some tough brass, needed to really work and check more than usual while processing. It's also heavier than say LC, which averages 93 - 94.5grs, while RG is in the 104~ grs area. I "think" Hoser will not use it for 300.

loaded up some test loads now that I've found a mag that allows me to load out past 2.810".

I've got 2.850-ish" to play with. this should allow for the scenars to be loaded away from the lands correctly.

Thanks for the info. I also found some Turkish stuff (IK headstamp), also weird brass. The primers were flattened in them. I just chucked it into the recycle brass bucket.

For some reason I get really excited when I come across a headstamp I don't recognize. Thrill of the hunt maybe. I also found some Yugo stuff and one Perfecta, turned out to be Fiocchi.

You DO have more work top space, you just have it covered up with stuff.
