Reloading my new 25 cal.

Sounds and looks like an interesting project Curan.

Yeah, Marcus. I hope I'll be shooting it when I get back from my next run to work. I got another 20 cases trimmed tonight. That makes 40 done. The brass grows by nearly 40 thou when it is formed, so it takes a bit of trimming back. Lots of turns on my little Forster trimmer.


I have no idea what some of you blokes see in neck turning brass!

Sounds like you need a trim die and a fine toothed hacksaw, or a little hobby drop saw -although if this is a project where you might only ever form up 100 or so cases you might not be able to justify the investment.

Spot on Marcus. I'm only ever planning to form up the 60 cases, so it's no biggy.

I'll just keep turning the handle for another 20 cases and that bit is done........

Knocked up 10 rounds to take for a try on the weekend.

Used 20gn of 2207 behind a 87gn soft point. My old Hornady book suggests that as a starting load, so it'll do to see if everything else works on the old girl.....
