[QUOTE="dakewlndn, post: 1867298, member: 108565"] I have been loading my Savage 116 7mm Rem Mag. I have been running Rem Brass (at the time mainly for consistency, cuz that was the type of brass I had a larger amount of, had a few Winchester brass but never tried it). I got about 8 to 10 firings before I start to see case head separation indicators. Had a split neck on 4 cases from a lot of 50 I was rotating somewhere around the 5th or 6th firing. I did slowly upgrade my reloading process. I started annealing with the good ol socket/drill method but after getting the split necks, I bought a Benchsource but I wasn’t a big fan so sold it and saved up for an AMP. Dont get me wrong, the socket method got me by for years and it worked. But I wanted consistency so I ended at the AMP. I highly recommend it for those who can afford it. I couldn’t for a long time as well. I SS tumble, WFT trim, Neck Size with a Redding, Sinclair Expand and seat with a Redding. 150 Noslers ABLR running 3250 lit by H4350 Tried 26, 22, H1000 & a few other but my rilfle likes H4350 with single digit SD’s and 2.75” at 400 But took half (or more) of my stock barrel life to find that. Soon I will have to look for an upgrade in the barrel dept and start the process all over. Tip that worked for me during the socket method is to try and do less time than more. Use some Templaq to help you get your time in the flame down more consistently. [/QUOTE]
