Gidday Gelan....hope you had a good Christmas mate.
Now, cases.......PMC are really good cases, but a bit expensive. Norinco are "bush" cases...it doesn't matter if you loose a couple cause the rest go into the rubbish at the end of the day anyway.
I use Winchester and Remington. They are both around $25 for 50 and the quality control is good....I've only ever had one dodgy case out of about 500 so far. Also, you can match Winchester projectiles to Winchester cases and likewise with the Remington....Remington Projectiles with Remington cases. All in all, it works out nice and cheap for the above combinations and I find that the quality is there. They aren't premium hunting projectiles, but they do the job. The game we have here in Australia doesn't demand high grade premium projectiles....unless you are hunting buffalo or camel.
Cheers, Vince

Oi Vince!
My Xmas is definitely fine.
Got both my girls to do some and they got their rabbits and cookem for me
Say, do you recycle factory loaded cases or buy new (unloaded) ones?
I have yet to buy new cases. Always been using recycled cases, even for handguns.
I wonder if there is any differences between the recycled stuff and the new stuff
Maybe I should make this a new topic...

Good idea Gelan.......a topic on cases...I like it.
I'll let you start it off mate. Over to you.
Back onto topic...I have found that if I crimp my cases I get more consistent accuracy.
Cheers, Vince

I would think a roll crimp would be better on lead or are you using jacketed bullets. The Lee FCD tends to loosen the grip that the case has naturally if the bullet does not have a cannelure, I would think. Could be wrong. Have been before. Will be again. But not often...
