    Default Is Greek HXP "reloadable?"

    Hey guys and gals.
    I have been shooting my M1 Garand with Greek HXP for about 3 summers now, and have accumulated a pile of brass.
    I am interested in reloading, but dont know if the Greek HXP brass is reloadable or worth buying reloading equipment for.

    Any know?

    Thanks for any help!

    When in doubt, look down the inside of the case. If you see one hole at the bottom, it is reloadable. If there are two holes, then no.
    Reloading is always worth it.

    Just make sure you use a 'Garand safe' powder charge. and don't add up the cost of the components.....It costs just about the same as buying more Greek from CMP........I do it, but I like to reload......I actually like HXP better than the Lake City brass.

    buy more hxp now and save up the brass. get the reloading equipment once the price of cmp ammo gets too high or it runs out.

    That's great advice. And if you have an excessive amount you might be able to sell some of the brass and get more reloading supplies.

    shop now for projectiles, too. Get them when you come across a deal. I'm still working off .224 dia bullets from 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I'm running low on .308s and the best price I've seen is about $.12 each, in bulk.
