Great alternative if ya can't find H1000! Test brass has 14 firings now, trimmed twice, pockets still nice and tight with CCI 250's. 3187 FPS avg. out of the Heavy Saum with the 140 JLK's

Really pleasant to shoot. RLTW

Are they an exclusive for GAP or will Hornady be selling them as well. Might have a chance to get them in Canada if it is the latter. Good looking brass, sounds like Hornady did a great job building them. Gerry.
