cool. yep.. I hear ya on reduced case loads. I have a few powder choices and feel i can work upsomething in a non compressed load. i think even 4064 will go uncompressed.
will for sure check the primer type. I always look down in with a bore light and look for a central flash hole vs the lil side holes inthe no-no berdan stuff.
same people gave me the 350 30-30 rounds I jsut painstakingly deprimed, sized and trimmed. OOF!
now a couple hundred 308ish stuff. i got more brass than I can reload..
if any of it is berdan if can go in my trashbrass bucket that I'll save for recycling..
i was figuring it was essentially no different brass.. except for possible thicker and a crimped primer pocket.. maybee. figured I'd ask before doing anything stupid though.
say.. I gotta find more friends that used to have spouses into relaoding.. and keep scooping up the free leftovers

all i gotta do is go claim it now.
thanks guys.
