[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1117114, member: 10429"] I think I might better get me some barrels lined up.:D I probably shoot about 500 to 700 rounds a year since I've had mine. I been through 3/4 of a box of lapua brass with 10 reloads on each. I will say 10 is the extreme max with full length sizing them. I had a few show a little powder mark down at the webbing of the case. Not recommended. I also had some of the cases necks get really thick that I was seeing chambering issues. Had to pull bullets on some of these cases. So I gathered all my brass that I new that had 9 reloads on them and tossed them into the junk pile. I have about 25 left with another box of 20 from HSM that I'm working through now that has about 3 reloads already on them. So I think I'm over 1000 rounds down the pipe. I just love shooting this gun. But right now I'm back at the drawing board. I lost my reloading note book and I had shot all my rounds so I did not have any thing to go off of. I switched over to retumbo and was trying to get the 142 ABLR's to shoot. So far not much luck unless I run them around 2880 to 2900 fps. I've went back to working on the bergers for now. Hopefully I can get it tuned up before October. If not I also have my 300 RUM. Honestly If I only had one gun I could keep out of the rest that I have it would be my 6.5. [/QUOTE]
