Brainerd people who reload ammo

[FJ540]

I screwed up 29 rounds of a new cartridge (no, the 30th didn't go BOOM, I had a cracked neck on my new brass from pushing out a dented mouth and only made 29). The ogive is much further forward on the Game Kings than on my Partitions, and what's a shorter round physically is crammed into the lands in the gun.

So I'm wondering if there's someone up here who'd let me use
their press for a few minutes and push the bullets in a few thou?

It's .25-06, but anything close should work.

Just use a mallet on a wooden table.

That's what homeless Mike does at Oakdale, I think.

If you want a little more control, you could use one of these

Thought about using a vise, but figured I'd see if anyone up here had something better first.

I also have good ammo up here, so I'm not shut down if I can't fix the game king loads. I just don't want to shoot coyotes with $.50ea partitions (total loaded round is about $1.25 on those), if I can avoid it.

I'm about a 1/2 hour NNE of Brainerd, but I don't have any rifle dies other than .223! (.30 carbine is maybe my closest actual die) we could likely create something workable out in the woodshop, but not sure if it would be worth your drive time. Let me know if you want to explore the options!

Since it's raining, I was thinking of heading up to crosslake.

Wife brought my press up last weekend.

6 shots @ 100 yds. I pulled the one on the right.



These will work.
