We coat all of our casings in a clear, super thin anti-tarnish / lubricant. Besides helping the casings look their best when they show up to the customer, the lubrication properties of the coating help give a more uniform / consistent bullet seating depth when the casings are loaded with a bullet. If you have ever seen that shiny ring on the top of the ogive of the bullet after you seat the bullet in the casing, you might have a little too much bullet insertion force. Our coating helps eliminate that from happening on the 1st loading, without having to reduce the neck tension between the bullet and the casing neck. It also eliminates the need to pre-lube our casings before using them in a progressive press.

Speakin of shiny....,I picked up 20 more pieces of new unfired Winchester nickel plated 223 brass. WoooEeee! It sho is purdy. But again, them sneaky dogs hid the flash holes and case mouths with primers and bullets dag nabbit! It was nearly free, so I’ll hold my judgement.

I posted elsewhere that my 6.5CM Peterson brass weighed 170 grains and the Hornady 148 grains +/-. DerekP do you know where that extra weight is located in the CM? Or is it just a beefier case in general? Is this going to be true for the other calibers? Thanks Great question. Our walls are a little bit thicker than Hornady right now. Specifically, the walls down closer to the head of the casing. I guess “beefier” is a good way to describe our 6.5 Cdmr casings. We are coming out with a new version within the next few months where we will be thinning out the walls near the base to help give reloaders like you a little extra volume inside the casing. This should help with those powders which are a little slower burning. Although we do a lot of new caliber development, a ton of caliber development goes back into our current calibers to continually improve them. Start your load development with our casings using a little lower amount of powder than you normally use. You will get more velocity with less powder due to our 6.5 Cdmr casings having a little bit less volume. We will put out an announcement when we release the increased volume 6.5 Cdmr casings. Please don’t hesitate if you have any other questions. Thanks for the reply. So far so good with another box purchased. 42gr. H4350 and a 143 ELD-X gives me 2642fps with a 22" and 2682fps with a 24" barrel. That is with a Fed 210 @2.800". Easily sub MOA at 100 and MOA+ at 200 yards. Should work on my upcoming caribou hunt.

That’s great to hear. I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures if you get a Caribou. Have a good hunt.

A while back I posted my initial impressions about the .308 Win Peterson brass I had received. The post can be found here: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt.../13053530/re-peterson-brass#Post13053530This weekend I had intended to load some up for my trip to the range next weekend with my hunting buddy. No can do. The problem is I normally load Winchester.308 brass and in fact did load some this weekend. When I got ready to use load the Peterson brass I discovered it weighs about 20 grains more than the Winchester brass. This means I will need to do load development rather than just load and shoot with my standard loads. Not totally unexpected, but I was hoping it wouldn't be the case. I then decided to compare the Peterson brass against what I had on hand. The data below is for 50 pieces of Peterson brass and 6 of each of the others. (Yes, I was being lazy, but also I didn't 20 pieces of all the others, let alone 50.) The 'Fired' brass in the table below has been deprimed and tumbled. Some may have been trimmed, too. The WW and Peterson brass are factory new. Readers can draw their own conclusions. I was impressed with Peterson's low S.D. given it was for 50 pieces. I expect the E.S. for the other types would have been similar to (or greater than) the Peterson if 50 pieces had been weighed for each. Unfortunately, my schedule dictates that I will not be able to load and shoot for groups until November or later.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

How uniform are the case necks? Have not measured them but visually they appear to be perfect. No oblongs, dents, burrs, etc. Neck tension appears good, too, based on trying to slide a bullet in by hand, which failed. [Edited to add} Just checked the neck wall thickness on several cases at several spots per case. All measured the same to the nearest .0001". Minimum was .0015", maximum was under .0016". By comparison, several WW brass cases measured from about .0015" to .0017".
