[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 647317, member: 39764"] Another great-ongoing .338 thread..... It's obvious (at least to me) that there are definitively good and not so good in brass. ...and it appears (to me at least) that Hornady needs to do some serious homework. Loose primer pockets to begin with and now, too much neck tension. Having said that, I was sure to specify my last order from HSM loaded in Lapua brass....sitting right here BTW, with the all too familiar headstamp. Some rifles eat anything in the particular caliber they are chambered for. Obviously, not Savage in .338 LM. Case in point, my .223 match rifle. It consumes any brand brass so long as it's FL resized prior to loading (in the case of OFB). After that a quick neck size and ocassional annealing. The Savage seems to have an expensive palate when it comes to reloads. This caliber, at least in a Savage chamber, appears much more unforgiving. I'm standing by and reading with great interest.....again and again, Mr. Green appears to be on to something. Obviously experience is the best teacher. [/QUOTE]
