Not by choice mind you, but it was all that has been available...

That stuff is holding up like a brick...load development, pushing it to the edge to find out where it is...
Then downloaded with Blue Dot etc, to find out where the minimums and maximums are...

Got several groups of 10 in ziplock bags, that just passed their 30th reloads...

Used in a Bolt Action Ruger Predator... have loaded bullets from 85 grain HPs to 140 gr SP....finding out where redline is, and have only had to scrap 4 or 5 cases...low loss ratio consider the number of reloads and testing I have done..

It use to seem that the strongest brass for Remington based cartridges came from Winchester... and the strongest brass on Winchester developed cartridges came from Remington...must be a Ford/Chevy thing...

The Hornady brass I have for my 6 CM and Grendel is fine as well. None has been loaded more than 4 times, and those are going aside until I decide to start annealing. Have 200 Starline to try out, which is a bit lighter. The Starline 6mm brass is heavier than Hornady, go figure.


What fresh Hell is this?
