[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 1051042, member: 14209"] True, I agree that new brass is always best to use, But as an example: I have a .30-06AI as well and When I built it I had lots of Lake City Brass That had 5 firings on it out of the standard chamber. I fire formed 300 and lost 2. I used those cases and am still using some of them and most have 5 more firings on them with some having 6. I am now having to cull them due to loose primer pockets more than Shoulder or neck splits. I also bought a batch of Bad Winchester .243 Brass, Was grateful I only bought 100. I fire-formed them and lost 12 due to splits in the shoulder. Not sure why, but there it is. $55/100 is a great price for the brass. Who cares what the primer is if you're just fire forming. :) Dan [/QUOTE]
