    My very first CF ammo purchase ever!

    Here is a pic of the first CF ammo I ever bought. These were purchased in 1971. Since then, the cases have only been reloaded twice. I have hunted with the rifle only once, in TX. My area in MI was a shotgun only zone for deer until recently, but bottleneck cartridges are still not legal.

    Well, 3 loadings is about max for bottleneck rifle brass (so they claim), but maybe you neck size only?

    At your current rate, those 2 boxes ought to keep you until twenty forty!

    I think your aughtsix needs some fresh air and sunshine...

    I don't know who told you bottle neck brass can only be loaded 3 times, but it wasn't a guy that
    handloads, unless he was trying to scam you out of your brass!
