I can tell you based on my experience dealing with the public coming to our range for sight in days, if I found out the head stamp doesn't match the caliber stamp on the gun, your not shooting it if I don't know you personally, period. I would guess most reloaders into forming their own would belong to a range already and not be showing up at public times.

How do you handle military brass? Not everyone shoots commercial brass. So can I shoot 12.7X99 ammo in my 50BMG rifle? Or 7.62X51 in my 308WIN, or 5.56X45 in my 223Rem?


Be careful, a trick question was included..................

How do you handle old milsurp guns? They often don't have any caliber markings on them, just proof marks.

And as far as OldmanFCSA's question: 1) dunno, 2) yes, 3) no. If it's the other way around: 1) still dunno, 2) no, 3) yes.
