[QUOTE="klallen, post: 132629, member: 431"] I've got a Warbird in a Sako TRG-S. Kinda the utility model that Sako offers. I bought it 6 years ago. Found early lots of brass to be extremely weak. Top end velocities of just over 3400 fps with the 180 gr. Ballistic Tip was as good as I could do and expect any 'semblence of case life. A couple years back I had heard rumor of improvements in the strength of their brass so in 2004 I bought myself a new working lot. Settled on a load using 104 grs. of Retumbo and the 180 gr. AccuBond that averages 3511 fps from this 26" factory barrel. Would like a 28" or even 30" Lilja on it. Have talked with 50 on several occasions when we've been spit-balling about different projects about it but the way it shoots now, I'm having a hard time changing anything. All in all, with this new stronger lot of brass, I do like the round. If $2 per piece of brass really bothers ya, it probably isn't for you. I've never really considered it that big a deal. >> korey [/QUOTE]
