.300 BLK Brass Forming

[forsyth793]

I have formed some .300 BLK on a single stage press that turned out better than I expected. Do you cut your brass on a chop saw or in a die with a hacksaw and then finish trimming?

I just cut it with a 32tpi blade with my hacksaw. They still need to be trimmed to length out of my Redding form die.

I was using one of the cheapy Harbor Freight mini chop saws with about a 2" blade for a while. Works decently. Now my process for 300 BLK brass goes something like this:

1. Order brass from Hoser (he's on several forums)
2. Wait for brass to arrive
3. Wonder why I ever went through the trouble of forming all that brass!

Remington sells it cheap as well and it comes primed.

I think there is something to purchasing brass. It seems I have an emotional bond to the one's I have reformed......

I can relate. It's good therapy for me anyway. Hard to justify purchasing 300 BLK brass when you have a 30gal plastic drum filled with .223 brass begging to be reformed.
