Where to find brass ideas?
« on: January 19, 2015, 09:56:39 AM »
Hey guys, so I've been trying to track down some 25-06 brass for a few months. Wholesale, Cabela's, Higginson's, and Budget don't seem to have any. Anyone have a recommendation for anywhere else to look? I did find some fancy $60/50 stuff at one point but it seems to have sold now too. Preferably just looking for cheap stuff, otherwise will be practicing with Fusion ammo over the spring just to get some brass. Only good news on the reloading front is i did get some smoking deals on bullets at wholesale last weekend, 30% off which was great to see. Appreciate any ideas on the brass front.

Pretty sure you can use 270 or 30-06 cases for that, prob need to trim them to length.
If you are too busy to hunt , you are too busy.

Yup, necking down the 270 is fine of course, but some guys don't like to have mixed cartridges with the same head stamp, that can lead to issues like
my buddy had - 25/284 in a 6/284 gun!! :o
Everything worked out okay, but it sure scared the crap outta him!!
