[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 847580, member: 13285"] Kirby, Although it is called a .30/505, I have done that to nominate it parent case rim size more than anything. The brass I will be using is Bertram 408/505 brass and is very strong, as is his straight 505 brass as I believe he makes it to the same pressure standard as his Cheytac brass. This should be great news for 505 shooters! I have a .375 Cheytac and I have got over 15 loadings with the Bertram brass and it is still good. I don't think the strength of the brass will be an issue at all. I have talked about forming the Brass for this cartridge with the Bruce Bertram and using his 408/505 brass is the easiest option. Partially formed brass may also be an option as they can be removed from the process mid way. I was in the Bertram factory Yesterday. It is an amazing place with all sorts of goodies. :) Here is just a "few" .338 Lapua cases in the process of being made. I don't think we will be short of them for a while down here!
