Any experience with Bertram 7mm WSM brass?

[Hiwayman92]

I've got a bunch of Winchester and Federal brass, but in my relentless pursuit to reinvent the wheel, I'm curious of your experience with Bertram brass. I'm about to start over with a fresh barrel so now would be the time to change if it was worth it... thoughts?

Tough as nails!

not with the 7mm WSM but the 338 RUM has been great

As long as I fully prep the Winchester brass it seems to be pretty tough also, I've yet to lose any after 5 firings. I haven't tried the Federal brass yet, but used it in my 300 WSM until I could thumb seat the primers after 6-7 firings. No neck issues even without annealing. I now bought an annealer so that won't be an issue. Do you think Bertram is worth the extra money?

I am getting 10-12 reloads on the 338 RUM brass but their is not a lot of options. I have not had to many problems with Winchester if sorted. Bertram seems to be more available

Extra money?? I paid over $2 a piece for my Winchester 7WSM brass. In the complete absence of any production brass it was well worth it. The Winchester brass has shot very well after a little prepping and I'm glad I grabbed it.
I've got enough Win brass for the life of two new barrels. :>)
