When I got my North Hollywood AutoMag, I "made" 150 .44 AutoMag cases from once fired .308 Win. brass. This included shortening and inside reaming the cases. Did it once just to know I could do it but won't be doing it a second time. Starline Brass get the nod from here on out.

Never got any bulk powder in paper bags but remember back in the day buying bulk Winchester 630 by the pound. It came in a "2 pound" clear plastic deli potato salad container which promptly began to melt and distort.
