[QUOTE="Elkslayer1, post: 965002, member: 22871"] [b]Re: 300 WSM Brass Problem[/b] Wow! You guys are amazing with all the help. Just a little more info, the two 300 wsm's we have are both using this brass for are both factory winchesters. The brass I am using is in fact winchester and most likely this brass has been shot 4 times and full length sized between each time. The wife and I like to shoot these guns a lot. I measured the resized case above and her is what I got.. Shiny part on base is .55 and .59 above. Agree with thinking the brass is not the best but I know what to look for now. Measure a new factory winchester case that I sized out if the bag and it is .51 all the way thru. It loaded in both guns great. Also grabbed a resized brass that measured .52 at base and .55 at the largest part on the brass. This brass loaded in both guns fine but the bolt did have a bit more pressure on it when it chambered. Not bad, just noticeable. So, after resizing any brass ...I am going to measure and any brass that is over .55 will be thrown away. When brass was plentiful, I just bought new brass after it got to when it needed to be trimmed....I hate trimming and yes the brass above had been trimmed. Don't want to run different brass in each gun as we hunt together all the time and want to be able to use each other's ammo if needed. Here is my sweet wife with her 2013 Utah Bull Elk taken at 608 yards with one shot!!!! DRT..... Some guide was moving his shooter into position of this bull and he was on the back side of the ridge she shot it on. We did not know they were coming up the back side. The bull was on the top of the ridge ....they could not believe a shot came from that far away in the other direction. She was using her 300 WSM with berger 190 VLD. I am blessed to have this lady!!! She was ****ed that we has to hike in 7 hard miles to get it!!! Oh well, trophy of a lifetime!! Scores 346 Here is her 2014 Utah Mule Deer. Scores 167 She kicked my A-- this year!! [/QUOTE]
