I have a lot of Norma 147gr Tactical 308 I never intend to shoot. Any reason I can't pull the pill and use the brass?

My rifle just doesn't seem to like the M80/147gr stuff. I'm going to load up some 168/175. Is there a reason I shouldn't/can't pull the bullet, dump the powder, and just use the brass as-is?

Just looking for a sanity check. Thanks.

I haven't built a rifle in a long time - what's the current meta for entry level competition gun? Howa 1500?

Helping a buddy build a rifle for a few matches we shoot a year. The Howa 1500 barreled action is about 550 at Brownell's, stock, and trigger I can build it for around a grand. I just don't see any talk about Howa's anymore so wondering what happened to that.

I know I can go Zermatt + Proof + stock/trigger for around 2 grand but wondering if I'm getting him twice as good of a rifle.

The matches we shoot are field/team sniper/rucking style matches inside 1000 yards.

Is an LD+ worth getting for Lightroom? I want a physical console but not sure where to look for a device anymore.

Other Midi controllers seem outrageously expensive for a hobbyist photographer.

RF 100-400 at the lake

R6 mk 2 + RF 100-400. I really couldn't believe it was catching dragonflies zipping around and able to focus. It only missed focused on the black/white winged one, they're extremely erratic. I'm not going to post pictures of my kids but I captured some incredible shots of them playing on the water as well. Plenty of bokeh and separation when the background is sufficiently far away even at f9+

Truck stuff - reno edition

Still need an oven during our kitchen reno. My co-op has punishing charge rates during peak dinner time so I'm able to run off the truck then charge overnight. Really did not expect this to work.
