Ratwhiskers Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Chaps. l'm using .308 sako brass at the moment for my 7-08 but don't know how much longer my supply will last (it's free, ok l'm Yorkshire and tighter than a duck's arse).... l'm also sat on a pile of Norma .243 stuff and can get hold of winchester once fired as well. The chamber is a "no turn neck" and throated for 150's My question is... ls it worth buyin' an expander mandrel or will this leave my neck walls too thin/short?? Or, seeing as l've got a .243 on my ticket, just get another one and blow the brass that way...... Ratwhiskers. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 308Panther Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would opt for filling the ticket on the .243 rifle.... One can never have too many rifles... 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Cheers Panther. Yes, quite true mate l did like my old .243 and wouldn't mind another one at some point, but would probably buy a near shot out unit and have it re-barrelled as l'm on the lookout for a s/a rem action for another project penciled in for the future.

325WSM Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 A friend gets me Federal once fired brass straight from the factory - test loads - so if interested email me (mry716@hotmail.com) and I will pass you on to him as I am sure he will help you out also. I pay about £12 per hundred delivered inclusive. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Why not sell the 243 brass to help pay for some 308????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Nigel. The brass l get costs me no more than half a day visitin' a good pal in Kielder, which is always a pleasure anyway and my rusty old gass pipe really likes the stuff he chucks at me. l also sort by weight (only 2 batchs) which means l have to shed some and this would make the expendature of new stuff punative. lt looks for the monent like my next big spend will be a new scope as l'm on an 8x56 S&B for now but to realise the rifles potential l need to vastly upgrade. Hence my original question about the .243 stuff to save "brass" so to speak.... And as Panther says... l can always get/be donated if anyones feelin' kind, another .243 and l'm up and running Regards. Ratwhiskers. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
