Thread: Ruger Ranch 300BLK

How has everyone sourced their 300blk brass? Factory ammo hellishly expensive and local gun shop has Hornady brass for $70, I can't see much point paying $50 for resized 223 brass from trademe,
Has anyone made their own, without the mini saw to trim case length? hoping to use the dremel, have about a week to get loading before the ruger gets back from the smith.

Easy enough too make your own.

I have an angle grinder set up on a drop saw frame (look on Tarme Angle Grinder Cut Off Stand 115/125mm | Trade Me) and a piece of wood with a v notch to support the .223 cases while I lop their heads off. Then they go on to a Lee cartridge trimmer for correct length and de-burring (powered by my cordless drill). Into the Hornady full length sizer and back to the Lee trimmer for finishing. I sometimes use my foster trimmer as it is quieter and nearly as fast.
