[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 98378, member: 3532"] Hi--all I can tell you is it worked great for me. I used hornady dies set to the shellholder and some sizing wax. I measured what I had been doing with my stoney point headspace kit and found the shoulder was exactly where it should be for my chamber. (I now have about 80 rounds sitting there with starter loads because I thought I should fireform) There's another good reason the stoney point kit is a good buy for about $40!!!! I've never annealed brass and don't think it should be necessary. BUT BE WARNED....this brass will have considerably less case capacity than weatherby brass. I would urge that you start about 3 grains less than your old loads with weatherby brass and build up from there with a chrono. (I'll bet you'll match speeds about 2.5 grains under). And yes--you may or may not have to trim. I am getting very good runnout on this ammo and don't intend on neck turning. MY favorite hunting loads are 72.4 I7828 under 140 swift a frames. I'm doing 3330 fps and getting 3.25" nice round groups at 300 yds. Primer pockets are only lasting about 3 reloadings at this speed--I should probably back down about .75 grain. [/QUOTE]
