[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 740432, member: 25383"] I'd have to dig out the boxes of brass I have, but yes most are Weatherby branded (Norma), but I think there are several boxes of Winchester and maybe one other. Might also be some Remington brass as well. I do know I have a couple boxes of either Federal or maybe Hornaday (like I said I have to look see). The brass (dosn't seem to matter which brand does need to go thru the Inovative tech die after about four firings, as it seems to expand between .0035 and .005" alittle above the belt. I made a set of gauges to check the expansion out of drill bushings in .001" steps. But really only use two of them. They are easier to use than a blade micrometer, and a lot quicker. Also awhile back I was given about 200 once fired 300 mag cases (all were factory loads from Federal and Remington). For the hell of it one day I checked them about .20" above the belt, and every case showed some expansion after the first firing. If memory is right the rifle was a Mod. 700 Remington. I just accept the fact that these cases will expand, and live with it. gary [/QUOTE]
