I found a very nice 243 (6x52) barrel, looking new with Leupold base and rings. These rifles use a special base. Nice to get one with the barrel.

I had no brass here for it, so I rummaged through the shop and found a 30 or so year old time capsule in a plastic cartridge box. There were 50 handloads with 100gr Sierra spitzers. The brass was dark, some cases were cracked.
I pulled the bullets, dumped the clumped powder, pushed the primers out, and set the cases into wet stainless media for a tumble then annealed the necks.

I had another box of pulled bullets, 100gr Hornady Interlock flat base spitzers. I managed to save 27 of those cases and loaded them for about 27-2800 fps to see how the rifle would shoot.

With fresh white paint on the 200 meter steel and a few minutes in the middle of the day I got to see that load putting bullet on top of bullet today.
Got a fresh box of Nosler brass for it later while in town and now I'm good to make a solid load for it when I find more time.
