Hi all, I am after forty years of hand loading pistol calibre cartridges now moving into rifle rounds.
I am reloading .308 Winchester for a customised Mauser K.98 with an Israeli 7.62 NATO barrel. ( I am aware of the .308/7.62 issues and have shot hundreds of factory .308 rounds through the rifle with no problems.)I have no personal experience of hand loading rifle rounds and am proceeding with caution.
The cases are once fired IMI which don’t need trimming. I have tumbled and deprimed using lubricant.
A question. Once de primed, do the cases need to be tumbled again to remove excess grease, or is a wipe down sufficient?
All advice or observations gratefully received
