[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1656015, member: 48043"] rp 35 whelen is a bit prone to cracking; we've lost a few to that. It is also flaky in availability but at present the few online retailers I tried all had at least one brand of whelen brass. Not a lot of reason for the extra work at present. often yes, but probably not in this case as both the ww 30-06 and rp 35 whelen mics at the same thickness. I've also never lost a formed case- some have 4 or 5 firings on them. They aren't unduly hardened in this case. I'm also not seeing a wall thickness issue with ww brass and the roundness is good with a tapered expander; most whelen dies will come with an elliptical or tapered plug. yup, and this can be a serious issue on custom chambers. not so much on most factory jobs (or saami spec), which are usually rather loose this we can both agree on [/QUOTE]
