Goodies in the mail

Post by ffemt300 »

Got two boxes of goodies in the mail today. I'd been looking for a set of .40 dies and as y'all well know they are scarce. My boxes today were marked from Dillon Precision and the dies along with a bunch of other stuff i had ordered were in them. I was anticipating several weeks to get the dies but i had it in less than one. The things i thought would come in first are on back order. Now if only my components would come in.... :headscratch :banghead:

I got a couple of scopes and 308 dies in today. They said they wouldn't ship until next week. Now if I could just find some 308 brass.

Try Pats reloading. He has some military pull down brass. His web site says it just needs neck sizing. I bought some of this for the 5.56 last year. It is good brass. Outsides are a little tarnished but the insides all bight brass. There were a few cases that had damage from bullets being pulled. Pats replaced those. The necks are a little loose but held the bullet in place if I was gentle in seating the bullet. I used a Lee Factory Crimp die to crimp the bullets in place after that but any crimp die would work. They shot well and you will have good brass to reload after that. Hope this helps.
