[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1529167, member: 31749"] Sniper97, what brass are you using (brand and number of firings)? Guess I should have put that in my original response to you. I run Lapua brass which uses a small rifle primer (I run CCI 450 sr magnum primers which have a harder cup) which means that in theory it should have a much stronger case head. That'd be my only caveat, brass quality probably more important than which primer you are running. The sierra data I copied when I started my load development was using large rifle primers. If you are running any good brand of brass (Nosler, Norma, Alpha, or even Starline gets the nod from what I have seen), you should be fine. I haven't tried to reload any of my Hornady brass, but it seems to be that the consensus is it is pretty soft and doesnt handle pressure as well. I've seen more than one account of loose pockets and split case heads with not very many firings. It wouldn't be my choice if I was going to start to chase higher pressures. [/QUOTE]
