bought a grab bag of 300 wthby at a gunshow today.
17 emmpty 1x fired brass. + 3 good looking factory cartridges ( looked remington )
plus 40 rounds in old boxes of laoded weatherby brand.
the brass is tarnushed or dull / cloudy looking on the weatherby. no green corrosion though..
I want to clean them up to use..
I have weatherby dies and all.. etc.
question.
I 'heard' that wthby uses a proprietary powder type and charge that you can't dupe to factory equivalence.
With this in mind I was considering pulling the projectiles, depriming. tumbling/cleaning.. reprime and reload with the oe powder I dumped and then relaod the oe projectile.
?
or should I dump the powder and just relaod with my own???
( will be shot out of a MKV )
