I bought some Hornady brass for both my '06' and my .308. The '06' brass weighs 177.5 grs. vs. 193.5 for WW, 202.5 for Federal and 185.5 for PPU. None of it would last long, even with less than full power loads. The case heads would crack, just ahead of the extractor rim, after 3-4 loads with it. Federal shoots the same loads many times, as in 8 plus and still is useable. WW has lasted almost as well.
Using both WW, Rem., Federal in my M70, .308, again it doesn't hold up as long. It lasts two loads in my M!A. PPU, on the other hand, goes at least four loads, which are all full lenth resized. No more Hdy brass for me. E
