I've been piecing this project together since last year. I finally got the hand guard I wanted and ordered the Barrel and was looking into Starline brass when my barrel showed up. Well one end of the package was torn mostly off and poorly taped back on. When I unpackaged it, it had an ugly gouge about 3' long on it with some scuff marks also. I have no idea how long it will be before it comes back now so I thought maybe I would make brass instead. I have a boat load of 30-06 brass. But I don't know if I will need to turn/ream the necks for bullet seating. That would add more expense, no previous need for those tools. (I am a tool Junkie) Annealing is not an issue. I think what I need is for someone to explain the usage of tools for turning/reaming to educate my brain into understanding weather it would work for me or not. So I can research and window shop at the same time. Or help me with weather I really need to or not.
Anybody else made 45 Raptor brass ???
Afterthought: I'm going to have to wait until that barrel comes back, Ain't I ?
