I have a pile of this goofy short hornady brass and do have a box of their j-words, but am curious about using it for boolits. I do have some regular length brass also, but could I use this stuff?
I currently only have 2 molds for my guide gun, the lee 459-405hb and a recently acquired lyman 457191. The marlin does not like the lee boolit very much, as it does not feed well so I'm hoping the lyman will be better.
I cast up some of the lymans and PCed them and am going to load some soon. Since I am not worried about lube, could I just jump a groove to account for the shorter brass, or would this affect my neck tension? I would hate to have all this brass that is just useful with one particular projectile. Although the flex tips do seem.to be fairly good J's.
I did see one of the custom mold makers has a mold that has a double crimp groove to utilize the hornady brass, although I cannot remember which one.
