New to whisper...need a hand with new load

[Just Call Me...G]

Hi again,

PAINFULLY???...
All due respect, I think that 320pf and I would differ on what the definition of pain is...

I liked the pipe cutter/clamps method because of the ease of expense and the portability. I knocked out the 2200 rounds in a matter of a day, I took them with me to my living room...talked on the phone, watched TV, etc. The whole set-up cost me about $10 at my local Ace Hardware and it works just fine.

The methods he describes work fine I am sure...he's been in the .300 Whisper MUCH longer than I.

BTW, 320pf thanks for all the info you have posted here and on other sites that I have lurked in. Your info has been a great help to me.


Anyway, the reason I was going to re-post was to let "buggsz24" know which brass I have used and has worked:

Comm. Brass:
Winchester
R-P
FC...found that on some of these you may need to swage the primer pocket.

Mil-Surp (primer pockets will need swaging if once-fired) :
WCC
LC


If I had not inherited the 5 gal. bucket-o'-brass and were starting with fresh, new brass...I'd say buy Winchester .223, hands down. I have found that the Winchester .223 brass gives VERY uniform results when forming to .300 Whisper, especially in the neck thickness realm.

As it stands, I have 2200 pieces of brass...some I have already loaded and are ready for shooting (next weekend, fingers crossed). I have more brass than some, less than others...to me this is a bit of a Zen thing and for my pleasure and amusement, not a competition. As more brass becomes available to me, I will make more...especially any FC brass as they tend to skimp and are usually shorter, I don't care to reload the FC brass for my .223 needs and will allocate them for my .300 Whisper needs.

My $0.02, your mileage may vary...
