    I have to STOP buying old ammo to shoot

    I have to stop buying old ammo to shoot. not because it sucks, but because I suck! Every time I buy it with the intention of shooting it, when the box comes in the mail, I can't.

    I see the darn box and the nice-looking old ammo and I think; "I can't shoot this! look at this, someday there will be no more"

    I suck gentlemen.... That's what happened, like so many times before, today... when the Western 300 H&H Mag ammo arrived UPS.. Can't do it, even though it's post-64 ammo.. I can't --- sigh...

    I also bought some old used 300 H&H brass but when I came it turns out someone had fire formed it to 300 Weatherby Mag.

    I annealed the cases and was able to reform them back to the 300 H&H profile.
