[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 911552, member: 48043"] Something else is wonky then my friend. I've never seen a properly sized 7stw casing go less than 5 firings and we've had four of them between my pops and I. We both fl resize with redding fl dies (I've got a set for my press; he's got one for his) and use standard seaters. I don't doubt you that you are having issues with brass life; sorting them out can be like pulling teeth sometimes. I lost some of my win brass with my current stw before I figured the die out.. Perturbed to say the least considering win 7stw brass isn't made anymore. You will get slightly better brass life from the 7rum (I have one of those again too) but you will tire your bore faster and you don't get more than 100 fps or so more speed. On the bright side with the 7rum, even if it dies out 300 rum brass sizes to 7rum in one die pass. The 300rum isn't going anywhere. What's your load again?? I saw some of your pics earlier this year and it seemed a rather normal setup and load but I forget specifics... You have a re-barreled sps in 7stw correct?? [/QUOTE]
