[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1001564, member: 82202"] I purchased some PPU brass for my 300 win mag it was all that was available at the time. The case capacity is well lower than Norma. Loaded 210 HVLD with 74 and 75 gr H1000 which was my go to load in Norma or WW brass and had major compression so much so that the shoulders bulged when seated to 3.360 COAL and 75gr. I was thinking about disassembling the rounds I loaded at 74 but will try shooting some at 71 .5 and working up 0.5 at a time. Truthfully I backed off from my go to a grain at 74 to start and check for pressure signs and loaded some at 75 and noticed the shoulders. I will definitely be backing off 2 or 3 gr from my normal starting point. Bergers data says 71.5 with no brass type so that looks like a safe place to start. Good luck and shoot straight and buy Norma or WW brass. Needless to say I am not very happy with the PPU brass. Bob [/QUOTE]
