Just prepped 100 norma cases for my 6/250. Never used Norma before but read lots of good reports. Was surprised by the amount of brass that came out when uniforming the pockets.
panning for gold

none that i could see looking in the case but I had a go at them with a Lyman flash hole deburrer, It did take out a little of brass from each case but not much.
Its just a procedure I get used to and would do it no matter what the brass was. it also looked like it had a mild chamfer on the inside but since i bought the uniform chamfer tool when i got my wilson case trimmer i gave them all 2 turns of the handle too.
I havent weighed any yet.
Thought i would fire them all once then trim to a uniform length and weigh. The length appears pretty consistent so I should probably batch ( I have never done this before) before I fire as there might be different amounts of residue inside the case effecting weight.

Knackers, I have never shot at a 300m target. i got a 348 pace crow once but never tried a target.
next weekend I intend to go to the range to try my 65vm load at longer range and try to develop a load with some of the 70 to 80gn projies which may be more useful. I have no delusions of being competitive but I at least need to try a 300m target before I get there!
