[QUOTE="Broz, post: 503033, member: 7503"] Yeah, I never thought I would complain about brass lasting to long. :rolleyes: But the primer pockets even after 11 firings are still so tight the primers make a "pop" sound wen coming out and all are the same. I know Lapua is awesome brass but I am begining to feel I could hop em up a bit and get to 2850 and still be ok. I am sure you know what the 378 based extractor on a Mark V does when you load em hot. I fdo carry a spare though. I plan to do some load work starting very soon for it with the new Bergers. Now that I have my 300 WM I don't shoot the 338 LM quite as much, so maybe I need to rev her up and finish off this brass. I know you have a few rifles that got to have some dust on them. Do what I did and sell off a few to fund the PLRF10. I sure don't regret it. One of my better choices for sure. Jeff [/QUOTE]
