[QUOTE="Broz, post: 603741, member: 7503"] I have kept track of mine in a log book. When I had the std .338 LM built I bought 2 boxes of Lapua brass (200) The loads have always been 91.5 or 92.5 gr of H-1000, the majority fired were 92.5 not a light load by far. Every shot being 300 gr bullets @ 2795 ~ 2805 fps. I have never opened the second box of brass as the first 100 are doing fine. Most of them have been fired 14 times and some will be loaded for their 15th time soon. I do anneal, and use bushing dies to only size what is needed. The primer pockets are all still tight and very consistant. I use a hand primer tool and every primer in all 100 feel the same going in. I still have the 2nd box of 100 cases, guess I will use them for the next barrel, but this barrel still shoots as good as it did new (1/2 moa to well past 1000) I wanted to post this as I feel it is solid data of my own and some might be interested.
