[QUOTE="sewwhat89, post: 116382, member: 4587"] In my experience, the .243 and .22-250 are the most sensitive. I have ruined brass in three firings or less by over-doing it. I also busted some .22-250 brass due to the misprints in the Barnes book. I was getting anywhere from 4200-4600 fps with 50 gr VLCs. That brass lasted two firings. Loading .22-250 brass with 52 gr SMKs with Varget and H380, I have 12 firings on one box, and still have tight primers and minimal case stretch. Loading .243s trying to get AI performance will cause short brass life. Use it until you lose the primer pockets or start getting cracks. [/QUOTE]
