[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 2377377, member: 110228"] Interesting reading. But lets start with the second one first with Peterson statement. I find that my Peterson 300 WM brass only shows a + or minus of 1 gr. therefore I would not expect much difference in velocity or pressure. My 300 Sig brass weights 15 grans less then the Peterson and I never load the 2 the same. (Think most anyone would agree that switching components entails reworking up loads). Now the first article you quoted by his own admission he shows that the brass was not prepared evenly. My experience with the example I used on the 7-08 Nosler vs. Hornaday shows different results . Both brands of brass Trimmed to min. length, neck turned, and on 4 to 9 firings. All brass was sized pushing back the shoulder just enough so bolt lock down has resistance 1/3 way down. Both brass in same camber. When I tried to use the Nosler brass with same bullet and powder (H4350) where I was loading the Hornady brass I ended up with a big pressure spike. ( Hard bolt release, caved primer, ejector marks and a nearly 200 fps velocity increase. Yes I did not follow my own advice and tried to take a short cut. How you get experience I guess. Just one mans opinion an no disrespect to another man's. I am not jacking with water in my brass. [/QUOTE]
