well, after shopping around for .308 rounds for my new scout i decided to dive in to the reloading world...
I got a lee hand press, hand primer and dies... still need to get an accurate tool for powder measure, case sizing and trimming... now i've seen my buddy do his .223 and it seems simple enough... when i started really reading this section of the forum i realized that there is a lot more to it...
now to my question. my local range sells previously fired .308 brass. 1000 casings for something like $100. are these worth using or would i do better by ordering brand new brass? and if so, why?
I figure that if i properly clean the brass and size it well, i should not have any problems. i dont plan on doing maximum load any time soon but i do want a good safe and consistent round.
thanks all!
