Nice. For me, it's far more satisfying to reload for the milsurps than the modern rifles. It's pretty cool to be able to make low-price, effective, non-corrosive ammo for guns like the Mosin!
I don't remember . . . is the brass that you have boxer-primed? Or are you going to need to deal with Berdan primers?
When I ordered from American Reloading, it was for Boxer primed, but came with a handful of Berdan primed shells as well. Since they gave me more Boxer primed shells than I paid for, I wasn't upset about the Berdan primed ones. Everything else I've got is Boxer primed.
My goal was to get enough brass to be able to be reload without cracking open my spam can, which I
may now put up for sale. I think I've got about 250 pieces of reloadable brass now, which should be more than enough. I haven't done a cost break down, but I imagine I can reload for less than half of what I pay for factory brass cased ammo.
