[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1778166, member: 38048"] I shoot Lapua in my Creed right now and it's been the best so far. This is in a 17 pound bench gun for 1000 yard. I ran my Peterson brass to 10 firings and they were still serviceable. I did test the adg 6.5 Creed brass with 5 pieces pushed to failure. My load is a 147eldm at 2850fps with h4350 28 inch barrel. It shot these loads over 15 times and still had primer feel. All these brass were annealed and bumped 003. I am getting the most consistent accuracy from the Lapua SRP so I use it. I had some Hornady bulk brass I got in a 200 box and sorted out 100 and prepped them. Neck turned them the whole works. Couldn't even get them to 2800 fps without wrecking the primer pockets. I threw all 100 cases in the recycle bin and gave the other 100 to a friend who liked them. Some friend I am right. But really it's all he uses and he wins a bunch. Primer pockets are definitely the killer of brass and over pressure is the reason. Neck sizing or tight chamber won't fix that. The only difference between a tight chamber and loose one is .003 in length if the rest of the chamber is in spec. That's not going to have much to do about anything. Nothing wrong with min or Max chamber. Just as long as you set your brass back based on your chamber it's going to be fine. Shep [/QUOTE]
