[QUOTE="TurboSportTSi, post: 1271142, member: 91633"] Rifle not liking brass? That's a new one... I can guarantee that YOU wont like it though. All mine required neck turning for consistency in tension. They used to have issues with weight variance, but they now sort it to something like +/- 1 gr. I have heard some having issues with brass life, but I can't comment on that as of yet. Would it be nice if some other mfr would make consistent brass? Oh yeah. Would neck turning one time over the whole life of a case turn me off of a great cartridge? No way. Single source isn't really an issue for availability. I can call Gunwerks or Primal Rights at any time and order many thousands of cases. That, to me, is better availability than almost any cartridge. Any brass could become unavailable at some point. If you are that worried about it, buy a bunch of cases up front. I had a similar process of elimination. Nothing with a belt, to start. 280AI and smaller doesn't have the horsepower for the heavies, feeding issues, brass availability, and slower speeds deterred me from the SAUM (for a hunting rig), barrel life is an issue with the 28 Nos and bigger (as well as the WSM due to short neck). The LRM seems to be the best of all worlds, as long as the barrel life turns out to be what I expect (1200 rds...will be tickled if I can get 1500 out of it). I was originally wanting to build a 28 Nosler, but the anticipated barrel life of 6-800 rounds I found unacceptable for me. Perhaps running 195s or some other heavy bullet would extend that some, but who knows. That also seems like a great cartridge, from what I have read. Did you consider the Dakota? I would have went that route if I were to want to mess with the bolt face. Brass cost kept me from it as well, but I was under the impression that the LRM was still like 1.30/ea...but when I went to order the price was around 2 bucks. Talk about a price hike! [/QUOTE]
