I hope Ted will forgive for a short hi-jack but I'll tell you about the 308 Norma.
It was actually a 30-06 originally, re-chambered and of course the bolt face was opened up.
Function is perfect.... smooth as glass.
The rifle as purchased came from an estate and also included dies and lots of brass, loaded ammo scope mounts and a Lyman peep sight.
I put the 2-piece Leupold mount on simply to shoot it, but the actual scope mount for the rifle is a Paul Jaeger detachable side mount that is a really nice piece of work.
The rifle is drilled and tapped for it so I will mount it someday, the way its made and the tolerances so tight I'm sure it would return to zero.

Maybe I should not have posted this...... am I going to have to take more pics ??

Not if you send here, you won't.

Hay, I wonder if he still has me on ignore?
 
Does anyone have even 20 pieces of .300 H&H brass he'd sell me? I don't care if it has had numerous firings. I bought a Remington 700 Classic .300 H&H and I would like to try it out without buying new brass at the prices .300 H&H goes for. If I like it enough I will keep it and buy new brass and if not I will sell it.
 
I tried resizing some .375 cases and ended up with creases in the necks. The empty resized cases chambered fine but wouldn't chamber once a bullet was seated. Do you think I did ssomething wrong?
 
I know that I was careful not to get lube on the neck and shoulder of the .375 cases I was resizing. However I thought further about Ted's advice and there was a problem with my previous approach. The .300 has a much longer shoulder than the .375 and I was getting lube on the part of the body that forms the shoulder of the new .300 case. This was causing the creases. Lesson learned on that one. I lubed cases and kept the lube well down from the shoulder of the .375 case. I now have 20 perfectly formed .300 H&H cases with no creases.

As an aside I also had a phone conversation with Ted tonight about this topic , and a few others, and he really is a helpful and nice fellow to talk to.

I had exact same result. I've accumulated a couple hundred rounds of new and used brass since though. Can never have to many. Depending on the particular rifle, some are hard on brass if head-space is not spot on. Here's a shameless plug for my latest .300H&H, a 1960 M70. Plan to take her for elk/deer this fall.
