Very nice - I'd initially planned on cutting my own as well, but had too many irons in the fire and decided to simplify for now and just buy some brass. I hope yours work well when it's time :)

I know exactly what you mean - same here!

Cut down 5.56 LC brass from detroitammoco.com

This is my first run-through of .300 loads ever, so I'm no expert - but I imagine there won't be a difference as the 5.56 is the .300's parent case, after all.

Thanks to my cold calming down, I finally got to shoot these loads - all cycled perfectly and shot well. It seems to be an amazingly forgiving cartridge in terms of the loads.

Thanks - they sure seem to know their stuff :)

It begins:



For the curious, I'm trying out 150gr FMJs over 15.5, 16.0, 16.5 and 17.0 gr H110 - we'll see how it works out.

Once I've established a decent standard load to use in the future for plinking with cheap FMJs, I'll be working on load development for 110gr V-max and 125gr SPs - with the possibility of 168 and 175gr SMKs just for fun..
