[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1045799"] The brass life is supposed to be at least 4 reloads for CT brass. The "feel" of the brass is very "hard". I annealed necks. I think 5 total firings is realistic. I have just begun the reloading process for my shooting buddy so my hands on is pretty limited. 375 CT with SMKs and CT Solids. I will probably switch him to Cutting Edge bullets if i can. Using more than 125grains of powder puts the "normal" cost of just the powder at ~$0.60, bullets are from $1-2, brass at $2.5 / 5 loads for $.050 per. so you are talking $2.10 to $3.1 per shot for the 375. Using less than 100 grains of powder puts the "normal" cost for a 338 at $0.50 + $0.80 + $.050 for $1.25 to $2.25 per shot, maybe less for a 338. IIWM: I would recommend that your client go with a 338. Lapua, Lapua Improved (I like 35 degree instead of 40), 338 RUM, 338 RUM Improved (again 35 degrees over the stock 30). 338/300 RUM (aka Edge) and improved versions. but If I find out that my 24" barrel 338/26-Nosler can send that 250 at 2900fps + or that 300 at 2800fps+ then I would say, go with a 338/26-Nosler because it will all around be easier to deal with. Lighter, it will be easy to find brass. Less recoil. [/QUOTE]
