[QUOTE="apexmtnman, post: 740483, member: 13022"] Tricky Bob Hagel years ago complained about Norma brass being too soft to load very hot in Weatherby loadings (Gun Loads and Ballistics for the American Hunter) so I've never been a fan. At the time he found Win brass to be the strongest so I've used it almost exclusively for my loads for years. I've loaded some brass 8-10 times on my 300 Win Mag before discarding and never had to do anything to them except run them through a full length die bumping the shoulder a couple of thousandths each time, maybe I'm just lucky. Hagel found that if he formed 300 Weatherby brass from Win 300 H&H brass he could load them quite a bit hotter than the factory Norma brass IRC. jlamb Sorry to hijack your thread, I really like my 264's and I bought a Redding type S Match die set #36127 from Sinclair with a .291 bushing IRC. I'm getting very little runout useing this setup, .003 or less, they're kinda spendy though. CPG I must like my 264's just as much because I also own 3, including a pre 64 Westerner that I don't shoot much anymore. [/QUOTE]
