Bazooka Joe Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Reloading for my 243 today, got some once fired Hornaday brass from a mate a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking for a recipe with the 87g Hornaday BTHP's, & I'm swapping my brass around to see which suits best,hence the Hornaday. Max length of the 243 case 2.045", I trim mine to 2.035", while doing this I noticed that the Hornaday cases were a lot longer that the one's I'd being using previously, nearly 50 thou to be precise. Has anyone noticed the same with this brass, seems a bit excessive with only being once fired? BJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Your brass expanded (stretched) to fill the chamber of your friends .243. I suspect it has little to do with the brass itself and much to do with your friends chamber. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for the reply Andrew, I've loaded the same cases today ready for zeroing, my mate will be there & I'll ask him to bring the same gun. Get him to put a couple through & compare his with mine afterwards. Cheers, BJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
