Brass came in. Loading 50 and saving the other 50 for a rainy day. Only bought hornady 300gr. and some barnes TSX for non-lead Bought some 325gr FTX that can use the shorter factory loaded FTX ammo, but wont mess with that for awhile.
I never reloaded with new brass before, just factory ammo I fired. You need to clean new brass? Only got a tumbler, son-in-law does. No clue what media he has for it.
Got to get a load going for it now. Got IMR 3031, IMR 4227, AA1680, W748, and reloader 10X. imr 4198 seems to be popular, but cant find it. Got magtech and CCI regular primers. May need to get hornady crimper down the road for the shorter FTX brass length.
Debating crimping because I am using a magzine fed rifle, not a tube fed one like the marlin's. Might make a trip to camp in 2 weeks just to d some shootin'.
