I was recently given a gallon zip lock bag of cleaned and deprimed 30.06 brass, probably 150 pieces or more. Guy who have it to me doesn’t shoot ought-six any longer and passed them on.
I did a quick inspection and no split cases and it all looks pretty good. The three predominant markings are PMC, WW Super, Super Speed, and Norma. There are some FC and RP mixed in. Almost half the bag is Norma.
My main question is this...are any of these case brands any better then the others? I don’t hunt any more and am really just planning to work up a nice shooting load to plink steel targets with out to 300-400 yards for fun.
Any comments on the brass?
Also, as I’m just starting out, I’m open to bullet and powder suggestions to start with. Again, not looking for a full bore load, just something I can shoot 30-50 rounds at a time without regrets the next day. I have a 7MM Rem Mag that’s fun for about 20 rounds but after that, I’m shooting .223.
I’ll be shooting from a Ruger M77 bolt gun. Was kinda thinking about 165-180 grain bullets but open to ideas. Thanks!
