[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2286635, member: 5429"] I'd agree, back when I first started with the .340 Bee back in the late 80's I was getting between 12 and 13 loadings per case using Wby brass. Now maybe the most recent isn't nearly as good... I also formed a lot of cases via 8 Rem mag cases and or 375 H&H. I find that people love Lapua brass cause the primer pockets are so incredibly tight, the brass is thick and they work the heck out of it pushing things to big time speeds. IMO, it creates a false sense of security regarding pressures:(. But, being as I don't have any pressure testing equipment I can't prove that. I do know that when I go to Lapua brass from other brass's I do need to drop back the charge weights a couple grains or so. Just my way, doesn't have to be anyone else's [/QUOTE]
