[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2338260, member: 87887"] There seem to be a couple things to consider per your OP. 1. Do you have three different brands of brass? You mention ADG, some once in your rifle, and some once fired in another. Yhe reason I bring this up is that various brands may have large differences in what may be a safe load. Unless you can verify that all have the same volume, your loads may be different for each brand and need to be segregated and loads developed for each. 2. Agree with the comment above concerning water volume vs brass weight. I dont know, but I suspect that there is little difference in water volume between once fired in your chamber and multiple firings. 3. Fire form your brass and "neck size til the shoulder needs to be set back. Then load and size as if it were a belt less case(off the shoulder). Yhis will prolong the life of your cases. I typically start load development after the brass is once fired in my chamber. Hope this helps and sorry for such a long post. [/QUOTE]
