I'm sure I've paid for at least one new outboard motor testing with Precision but money well spent.
Rotometals has consistently been the best source.
We cant really use outboards here anymore so now its either run a go-devil or prepare to get a arm workout and some paddles. I assume by precision you mean Precision Reloading? I was wondering when they test shells for you if they send back the empties? Eventually id like to get some brass shells tested but they are too expensive not to get them back.

I have never requested the emptys back but I'd bet that if you sent a prepaid shipping label they'd return them. Drop a dime, call and ask would be my first thought. I'm with you on wanting the brass ones back!

Looking at the 50 case order requirement I was thinking perhaps it would make more sense to try and do a group buy and split them I did that before but it was a order of 10,000 cases lol and it took more than a few of us to meet the quota.
