Blasting ammo.. Herters. (Update Pg 3)

How else could one Afford a Granite counter top?

No doubt. I'm still paying for mine.

A little bit... I have done steel too... just to try it. I like to try anything I can for the experience.

In that case let me introduce you to a lady I know. Her name's Lola.

Tell her to bring her own brass.

Granite counter top and recycled steel cases?

Yep. Again, it is not a matter of being a cheapskate, it is a matter of the relative availability steel on the range I shoot at (and the lack of brass). If I had more brass, I would gladly stop reloading steel.

The steel works fine for me; it is definitely not worth the cost of paying for once-fired brass (although, with current ammo prices, it could be).

I've read the opinions on both sides of the issue, and based on my experience it works for me. I'm not married to the idea; if I start seeing problems at any step, I'm happy to drop it like a bad habit. Thusfar, I don't see any validity to most of the criticisms with my reloads in my rifle.

I'm not out to convert anyone, but I do like to provide an alternate voice to the "steel will kill your rifle" and the "steel cannot be safely reloaded" crowd.

I hear you, Jackson. I'm just giving you a ration.

Nothing at all wrong with carving your own line out. By all means.
