I purchased winchester 30 30 brass online. I'm at work and do not have my reloading book. Could someone please tell me the minimum length they should be? I am measuring 2.027. thanks

Especially bottle necks.

I once read some instructions that started with: "Now that your attempts at assembly have failed..."Naw, real men don't read instructions! Or maps.

Few of my co-workers or boss would recognize that line, or the movie!

I watch the movie last week lol, glad I know the reference being younger.

YES SIR " what we have here is a failure to communicate"! Classic!

LOL... Now Now, let’s not be too hard on him... Who knows how many government jobs have led to novel (read that patentable) ideas that in the end benefit the company! I’m just envious, it’s a great way to calibrate your 15$ caliper.

I always resize new brass.

It gets more interesting when you make mistakes in bulk. I have had 200 .308s to pull down for 3 years. Loaded them, sold the gun, need to unload them all to reclaim the bullet...

Let’s hope... between hammering apart the rounds and mixing 100 bags of concrete in the next couple weeks then building a shop by hand on the slab I should actually be in a little better shape. Just gotta get over the covid shot side-effects before I can really start doing anything. Apparently I’m one of the few who have the side effects identical to having covid after getting the shot. Day 3 seems a little bit better so far, but last night I almost went to the ER with serious chest pain.

Prayers for your full recovery, my friend.
