6 PPC Brass

Cracks in the neck are easily fixed with a tig welder !

Yes they are easily fixed. Put them in a bag with a brick in it and chunk them off the nearest bridge. If they float, they’re fixed.

At a buck apiece, I'd opt for new.

I did just that, but after sending them to DJ's, they come out to about $2.70 apiece including shipping. Still it's the price of excellence and cost matters little.

Exactly. Get yourself some neck turning gear on the next go around. It’s easy to do and worth it in the long run.

The nearest bridge is over I 95 I might hit a windshield.

I prefer an industrial grade of Eeee - poxie.

I am leaning that way. I would like to purchase the brass already processed. Any ideas where I should look for it. I know there are several places that will do the work.

I got some prepped brass from LarryDScott last year. I recall about $2 each. He's worth a call.

Try to call these folks for Norma 6ppc or 22ppc brass. http://huntingtons.com/

Great people to deal with and usually have it in stock when no one else does. JME. WD

EuroOptic carries precious little reloading gear, but they have kept Norma PPC brass consistently in stock. Unfortunately they only have 22 at the moment.

I talked to DJ tonight and he will be shipping my brass to me on Monday morning.

Some guys hate to turn brass and some people like it. In December I usually have all my brass turned for the next year. I don't like putting things off. Buy good tools and they will pay for themselves if you like turning brass. I turned a few thousand rounds with a marquart and another similar tool for my PD rifles back before Benchrest. When I started shooting a PPC I bought a Pumpkin. Best tool I have used, thanks Don. Too bad they aren't available. It looks like there are a couple of decent alternatives out there though.

Always wanted to try a Pumpkin but never had the opportunity. I’m a big fan of the PMA tools. Easy to adjust and the necks turn out very nice with a smooth micro finish. Works great on my PPC cases. I have some 21st Century gear for a 30BR, and I don’t like it nearly as much. Not even close IMO. I’m eventually going to sell it and do my 30 brass with PMA as well.

You going to the Hogroast?

 

[LA50SHOOTER]

Sounds like the PMA tool does a good job. Tools like the Pma have came a long way since the Marquart I used a long time ago.

No Hogroast this year. Lots of stuff going on at work.

I had a pumpkin and a stiller copy. They work well but i prefer to be able to see the cutter. I like the pma micrometer one or a k&m

Thank you partner. I am looking forward to using some new brass. Should I fire form it on first use with non competition bullets before I load with my good stuff?

 

[DJSBRS]

Load and go!

[Nick Caprinolo]

Received my brass from DJ today. Very fast turn around. Now to reload and get to the range. Thanks DJ for the fast and painless service.

That was all that I had. I had already sold the rifle. LDS
