Hey guys, question for you all. Why would anyone use a non temp stable powder? I know most of the best temp stable powders are hard to find. I ran strictly the most temp stable powders I could find until recently I decided to pickup Win748 which isnt really known for its temp stability. Meters great and I got some awesome ES SD out of it but when the weather heated up the velocity rose a ton. Also when the barrel heated up and a round cooked too long in the chamber(PRS) I was getting significant impacts high at 1k. So the question is, for rifles, why would anyone buy a powder that is not temp stable. I can see it not being a big deal when you're loading bulk plinking rounds but I'm talking hunting and long range.

What is best way to decap old 5.56 IMG rnds. The flash hole is smaller than average rnds and decapping pin breaks often when not perfect alignment of universal decapping die by RCBS. Otherwise this die works fine for everything. Not sure i want to use sizing die to do this step. I like to decap then clean rnds before sizing.

As a new reloader myself. I am wondering what to do with junk brass? Do you sell it and how so? Is it worth dealing with it. Do scrap metal outlets have interest in it? What quality and volume will they buy it in, if they do? Just wondering what to do with it. Allot of what I got is not good for reloading cracked berdan flash holes etc. Now i know there is possibility that some might want to craft it into something of beauty. Like jewelry or something for their wife's. I guess that might be interesting to hear about also. So what do you do with your scrap brass?
