[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1734343, member: 3728"] Die vs chamber dimensions causes short brass life. Remington 700's in 7 Mag shoot unbelievable, just watch the area in front of the web, as a ring starts to show up, throw the brass away....no big deal. I figure 5 firings, but you never know. Many of the "most accurate" loads are .5g below being too hot, so pressures are up there. Primer pocket failure on Remington brand of brass is normal, and I throw away brass as needed. I de prime with a Neil Jones depriming tool, then hand prime with a RCBS or old Lee hand primer as a double check system for loose primer pockets. Throwing away brass from loose primer pockets is probably 10x more prevalent than cases splitting from excessive sizing that is needed to reduce the web dia. I had a Web sizing die, never used it in 5 years and sold it. I figured with a 7 STW and 7 Mag that I would be using the Web sizing die often, but never did. [/QUOTE]
