Hello,

I have a ton of the extreme bullets 150gr flat point/flat base bullets laying around that I'd like to use as a cheap option for fire forming some brand new brass. I've used them for 300blk but they don't seem to be made for shooting at normal 308 velocities. I want to avoid inflicting any unneeded wear on my barrel.

I have imr 4064 and imr 4320. I read where it can be hazardous to create loads at less than the "min" published weight. Is there a good option for me using the components on hand to fire form the new brass? Or is it simply a myth and I should just save my time and powder by jumping directly into load development with the good bullets I want to use?

A secondary use I might get out of the load if it shoots halfway decent would be a light recoil load for new shooters and a way to burn up these bullets and get some use out of a bunch of military brass I never use.

Thanks!
