[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2977830, member: 122164"] Winchester brass is the best unless you want to foot the bill for AGD. I formed perfect brass in the Forster 257 Weatherby FL sizer on the first pass. I used a pistol brush to clean the excess carbon out of the neck, then had a reamer ground with a shorter neck for the Winchester brass. I believe that the Winchester brass forms .050 shorter than Weathbery brass in the neck, and is much tougher than Nosler brass, Rem, and federal brass. I had my reamer ground with zero freebore with the shorter neck, 100s at 3850 with R#22, fed 215's shoots sub 3/8" groups, 110 and 115s at 3600. Primers crater, I ignore that issue, never had one pop as the small rifle primers do. There are plenty of guys who can fix an oversized firing pinhole if the cratering annoys you. You can watch the bullet impact the deer, water vapor flies off the deer hide, the bullet impact the backstop behind the deer with a 25", #5 contour on a rem 700 with Boyd's stock, and Gentry muzzle break. This is the perfect setup for a person who is recoil-sensitive. My nephew has an X caliber 9T off this reamer where he has killed a dozen or more deer with the 110g Accubond and 115g Bergers at 3590 fps, 25" barrel, he loves the rifle like no other due to his seeing the hits.
