[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1478111, member: 9281"] Lots of good advice here. As some have said, don’t limit yourself because of less than great brass. Let your rifle tell you where it’s max load is which will probably be different than the load data or even what others are experiencing in this caliber. I would test and re-establish your true max. In your ladder test go up to this new max, there could be a higher node there that you’re missing. There are very good, long term ways to repair primer pockets too. I NEVER pitch brass because of loose pockets anymore. I get at least 12 firings out of a warm loads in my RUM by repairing pockets as needed and annealing every other firing. It’s usually the necks that finally start to crack. [/QUOTE]
