If you have any .243 brass I'd be interested.

start to reload!! recycle and save money!! your off to a flying start you have good quality brass once fired.they are fire formed to your rifle!! neck size and off you go.What do people do with their empty cartridges? I have a bag full at home. Not a member of a club. Not a reloader. Can I recycle it somewhere?

i don't reload to bench rest standard like your mate,i buy 1000,primers,bullets,enough powder for a cost of £225!! = apx .44p per round!! thrown together in a rcbs ammomaster2 progressive press! 1 round every 3 seconds!!! box of 20 = £8.80 + 60 seconds of work@ £5.75ph £8.89p,they give me under 1-1/2" group every shot,never had a misfire.AND!!! it gives me something to do while ime having a cigarette!!! ime not mad!!!! WHOOSH!!!i haven't seen any of the previous posts on reloading so apologies if this threads water.
i went to see a mate who reloads, not sure if he is a member or not. jim, sorry i was not so enthusiastic ha ha see below
he took me through the washing the cartridges the turning the heads primer removal the powder weighing the setting the primer the filling the shell the cleaning of heads the setting to the nearest 100000000000th mill to fit the head and then go to the range with three other types of batches then find which works best go reload them and save 20p approx per round
YOU MUST BE MAD HA HA HA
sorry but thats not saving money counting the time effort and yes unreliability of reloads no way.... never once with federals have i had a misfire yet seen reloaders with a few....not a lot.
I buy 20 rounds of federal 100gn powershock for £21/£25 box.
to reload it will cost £14/£15 approx maybe more or less but it takes hours and days to get the right batch etc etc... hours at basic rate of £5.75 no saving
If i was to shoot target yes i would.. for extreme accuracy.
opened three boxes of federals sunday. one round from each box of 20 to test at 100 yards these are 1 1/5 inch circles. top of a lucazade bottle the 500ml bottle. point of aim is the dot. .243 wetherby 2-12 meopta scope.
