[QUOTE="El Matavenados, post: 1464402, member: 89192"] I finally fired some full-power loads today. I loaded 60-64 grains of Hybrid 100v behind a .338 250 gr Berger Hunter Elite bullet for my 338 SS. BR2 primers. I loaded in 1gr increments, using Norma and ADG brass for a side-by-side comparison. Visually, the Norma has slightly less case capacity. Upon firing, the Norma impacted roughly 1.25" higher. I have noticed heavy bolt lift with the Norma brass way before I would normally expect it. It is a bit unnerving. With 64 grains, the bolt lift on the Norma felt pretty bad, light primer cratering, no ejector swipes. The ADG brass gave no sign of bolt stickiness, no ejector swipes, no cratering (perhaps flattening, but that has always been a suspect metric to me), even at 64 gr. Unfortunately, I forgot the tripod for the Labradar, so I don't have velocity data ☹ The rifle seemed to do fairly well. Left-right spread looked good to me, and there was a 4.5" vertical spread as velocity increased. [/QUOTE]
