Century/Hotshot and Grafs '54R brass

Finally got around to shooting some of this ammo (Hotshot) in my M/N M-39 strictly for the brass. As I only shot a few rounds, I decided to use the decapper from my Lee Loader and ended up bending the tip because all of the flash holes are punched off-center. On the other hand, I was able to stop by Graf & Sons in Mexico, Mo. and picked up 100 rds of their brass that looks excellent.

Graf's is a good outfit, but aren't you a little ways away from home?

It's about 25 mi. northeast of Columbia. Grafs is a really cool place, they have a small retail store and a large warehouse just down the street. Lots of neat reloading and shooting stuff that you can't find anywhere else like Hornady ballistic tips made just for the 7.62x39.
