[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1917870, member: 101755"] Maybe they are surprised because it doesn't happen with any real frequency? I've never had one break... But I will say I try to stay within the recommended pressures (by monitoring velocity) for the platform. I have shot some hand loads that were not over pressure until I screwed my can on. So I do load right on the edge, but I use velocity to tell me if at I'm getting close to max pressure. 6.5 Grendel Hornady brass...I have 25 to 30 of the first cases (over 2 years ago) I got for Grendel's. Last loading I lost 5 cases so they are now loaded as hunting ammo so i dont have to worry about recovering brass. I've had good brass life by staying within recommended max velocities. I have cases where it's getting hard to see the head stamp. Some of the letters are getting to read. But I will not shoot ammo that leaves ejector marks. Yes I know some of Hornady's own factory loading are hot. I see the cases when I'm picking up range brass and a buddy who doesn't reload gives me his brass. [/QUOTE]
