Anyone had any doing with any of this? I got a box of mixed brass and while sorting it out I found a little over 50 cases marked FC 6.8mm SPC and have never seen any before. Also got about double that in SSA and a ton of R-P cases and a smaller box full of 45acp. Everything is said to be once fired and looks it too. Was just wondering if anyone has had experience with the FC brass - as in is it thicker walled, harder metal or just different... I don't want to break out the water fill kit - at least until the boy goes to school, I can see the need for him to check every thing we reload if he was in on the initial testing. He watched his aunt sort her bullets by weight and thought it was such a good idea we needed to do it for the ARs too... not even likely, we have way to many savage cans of pork and beans to worry about weighing the bullets LOL. Here lately I have been testing PC cast bullets in them but we(the kids) go thru way to many for me to keep up with the usage.
Back to subject at hand, I have a solid standard load for the 264RLB but been getting itchy about playing with newer or all together different bullets than last trip around the bench. I can weigh them but I found out that isn't always an accurate way to tell how much room is available inside the case. The daughter weighs all her stuff, bullets, brass and possibly how much wax is left on them after polishing -- yes she is that anal at times. But I showed her that with her 300 Win Mag there is over a 2gr difference in water volume between all the manufactures. And now she is hung on F class she may be getting worse in her efforts to duplicate every detail from starting of the loading to taking the targets off the backer board. At times I wonder what happened to just reloading for fun and the pleasure of shooting your work. Guess old age is catching up to me LOL now I am happy just shooting my stuff up, not so much as happy when kids go thru it like water off a ducks back but it is what it is....
