What’s a fella to do? Well..prep them! So after de-capping and wet tumbling, I measured all of them. Whatever they were in, the chamber was slightly smaller than the chamber in my Cadex with the big Kreiger barrel. Oh well, they’ll fire form.
So I was curious. I’ve been picking up the 6.5CM cases whenever I see them. And I was curious about how many I had accumulated. I have 125 loaded and 112 prepped. I was wondering how much Hornady brass goes for in those 50 piece bags new. And I figured around $50 for 50 cases. So I have an estimated $225ish worth of brass…for free. In fact, I have so much of it that I rarely fire the match rounds in Lapua cases.
Keep your eyes open fellow reloaders!
