[QUOTE="Wyosam, post: 2136934, member: 113713"] You can wring out every last FPS, or you can have good brass life. If I want more FPS than I can get with good brass life, there is almost certainly a different cartridge that makes far more sense to get there with. People beat the heck out of the poor 6.5 Creedmoor case trying make it do things it doesn’t want to do. The 6.5-284 or several other cartridges will get you there (and more) without the pressure. No reason in the world to toss Lapua brass with less than 10 firings on it. I had a batch of 223 rem with 13-14 firings on it. I hadn’t had any split necks, loose pockets or other losses yet, so I decided to fire form 100 to 223ai just to see how they’d take it. Not a single loss, so they are going into the rotation on that barrel. Good brass is expensive and can be impossible to find at times, why wreck it? Switching to other expensive brass to wreck doesn’t solve the problem... [/QUOTE]
