so, ive done a little digging, and have found the consensus is that adg is "better made" for lack of a better word, but pressures out sooner(stiff bolt lift, extractor marks, etc,) than bertram, and bertrams primer pockets hold up more. I heard this was a early run issue with ADG. the posts ive seen here have been regarding 6.5 prc and 338 edge. the 338 edge is my end goal, shooting a 300 rum right now. price between the two makers is about the same, give or take 10-20 cents a piece. Having found these posts, i wasnt sure if reviving a dead thread and hijacking it was necessary.
so, my question. Is that a "hard and fast rule" that ADG is more consistent, but bertram will hold up to hotter loads, longer? If i were to buy 200 of either, would it be feasible that the bertram i could use when i shoot out the rum barrel and spin on a edge barrel(after about 1k down the tube), necking it up? and being able to then develop a load with the necked up rum brass, buy NEW edge brass and expect to keep the load(im not WANTING to, just asking if basically the bass internal dimensions would be the same, necked up 300 rum vs 338 edge) could i expect either to last 5 firings?
does any of this make sense?
