[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1338492, member: 48043"] Well, interesting day with my 7stw and Bertram brass... I finally found a sub moa load to run a heavier bullet with using 50bmg and the 173 eld-x... With a bit of tuning it should turn in 1/2 moa or better.. On a bad note though, I had three fail to fire with Bertram brass; two of which refused to fire on a second try. I tore the ammo down this evening and the primers hadn't gone off; turns out Bertram has shallow belts and you will likely have to headspace off the shoulder... in my case that also means I will need to treat the brass as though I'll be fire-forming; ie. secondary shoulder or jammed bullet... After forming a false neck on the brass I was able to fire both primers... [/QUOTE]
