[QUOTE="Wide Glide, post: 1966913, member: 95299"] This ABM brass start showing pressure signs way sooner than the FC brass even though they seem to average about the same velocity per given charge weight as in 76 grains of h1000 will give me about the same velocity in either case but while the FC brass looks fine the ABM brass is screaming for help with flattened primers and very shiny very distinct ejector marks. By the time I dial back the ABM brass loads enough that they look even remotely safe I'm giving up over a hundred feet per second which takes me completely out of the higher wider accuracy node and puts me down into the lower node that is a lot more narrow at this point the only positive I can see to using this brass is it may offer more case life but I won't have any idea until I shoot at a few more times I am only on the second firing. We will see how well the primer pockets held when I go to seat primers for the third loading. At this point though I am considering trying another type of brass or just stocking up on the FC brass and expecting to throw it away after two to three firings [/QUOTE]
