[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2456871, member: 121641"] So I was fortunate enough to get some ADG 300 wsm brass which I'm using in my 7-300 wsm 45 degree improved. I'll start by saying I've used plenty of Lapua in the past and it is NOT more consistent than ADG in terms of capacity, dimensionally, or weight. I don't care who makes the brass I always run virgin cases through a neck expanding mandrel. 002 under caliber, this gives the best concentricity and neck tension. After necking the ADG 300 wsm brass down to 7mm and fire forming, I shot one piece over and over again with hot loads looking for max pressure. I annealed every 5 shots and loaded over and over with a load that gave ejector marks, this was strictly to test the brass toughness. My expectations are far exceeded, I'm at 30 firings now and the pockets are tight as new! I've killed Lapua brass in 9 firings with similar testing. Here's a pic of the case head after the 29th loading, notice the ejector marks. ADG is setting the new standard in excellence, plus the stars and stripes above the logo Made in USA makes me smile [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220226_073950.jpg"]344721[/ATTACH] 27th firing next to parent case [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220224_153330.jpg"]344722[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
