[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2404876, member: 1521"] W/regard to barrel wasting, why would you need 200pcs of fully formed brass? 50 would do, right? You could fully fire form 50 with 150shts, and around then the barrel itself should stabilize. As far as reduced load brass seasoning, it seems plausible for those who size at webs. A moderate firing and sizing cycle would break granular structure and work harden. No reason that primer swapping and seating testing couldn't be done with this. I don't ever size webs, but I know that brass wants to go where it's been, and never to use over pressurized brass again. So with culled brass, I test for MyMax pressure, log it and stay under it (with good brass). Typically MyMax ends up just past SAAMI max, but it could be a bigger difference depending on build.
