Rgr that, I'm buying new contract over-run primed cases, found on gun-broker.

Our worst reloads are in FGMM brass, even annealed. Best loads were in new blue bag Winchester brass. 2nd best, lapua. 3rd Norma 4th black hills 5th select lots of lclr weighed and ... Hornaday Fgmm And like you, at one point, I had 21,000 fgmm once fired cases... had... Loading lapua...

Fed cases, not annealed, have been known to suck.

Comes w bases and "rings" ... that fit your 70. No problem.

Tuff gettin older eyes .... ^^^^^
