    I had purchased a large lot of these PPU 30-06 cases as once fired brass. They do all appear to be once fired. Very clean with no indications of ever having been reloaded.

    The 358432 weighs only two grains different than a standard 158 grain semi-wadcutter boolit. The 358432 loads to the same OAL as a 158 semi-wadcutter when crimped in the crimp groove. You can safely...
