[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 670225, member: 29890"] Out of the cheaper brass, (win, fed, rem) this is my experience, if you anneal your cases, I have loaded as high as 73grns H1000 and 69grns 4831sc under 168s in win brass usiing only 20 weight matched cases, no split necks, case head seperation, or loose pockets after 7 firings, but it was the most inconsistent, Rem is good if you buy a couple hundred and sort them and spend a lot of time on prep, full pressure loads will loosen the pockets after 5 or 6 loads, fed is the most consistent, pockets are more uniform as are the flash holes, very good brass for the money, full pressure loads will start to loosen pockets after 3 or 4 firings on the down side. Now no one has mention it but PMC brass which is owned by rem but made in the Czech repubplic ( I believe) is absolutely the best 7mm mag brass perriod, but good luck finding it! So after typing all of this save your time and trouble and pony up the money for Norma brass, anneal it, or get someone to do it for you and load them consistently about 15 times! Sorry Lefty and Steyr didn't see your posts on PMC, I skipped a couple posts. [/QUOTE]
