    The Gards would not ask me that

    I have on occasion drank porter in Leitrim, never Hunted there.

    Where am I from, well I live out of a suitcase as my friends can testify too!

    A guy i work with use'd to use the cases again on swift for years and he claims they are much more powerful as all rounds are just 80% filled by manufacure but hey now has a 308 and hes doing the same..any round you refill if you know what your at is powerfuller

    I have been reloading at least twelve calibres since the late 1960's and I've NEVER tried to beat the manufacturers' figures. If the ammunition manufacturer uses a load that fills the case to 80%, with a recommended propellant, then that is done for good reason - NOT for economy, but for safety. In some propellants, a variation of five gr, let alone 20% of the usual load and safe load, can make the difference between an accurate and effective load and a fatal load.

    For the shooter.

    Just sayin'.

    As the subject is taboo on this forum
    The subject itself isn't taboo on this forum. However, the legal status of reloading in the ROI is in flux until the new Explosives Act settles everything, and that complicates things slightly.
