[QUOTE="kraky, post: 136240, member: 180"] I think alot of it depends on how much your brass has to stretch on the initial firing. I have a 300 win mag savage that "grows" the brass .030" on the first firing and a 300 wby that "grows" it about .018". After that I do fl sizing and sometimes Lee collet sizing. For me the brass gets in trouble with cracks ahead of the belt on about the 5th or 6th firing. As a matter of fact I chuck the 300 wby brass after 5 firings as I've had a few separtations. I do have a Stoney point headspace bushing kit and try and keep headspace at about .002" but I also run near max loads often. I wish I could brag about 10-15 firings like some people seem to get, but....I just can't! I should probably get the barrels turned tighter into the action on these rifles...it would help me get closer to the lands with most bullets......but I guess I'm to cheap!! [/QUOTE]
