[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2370790, member: 116181"] I agree with all that, the tight neck tension part for sure. Hornady FL die, Hornady or RP brass, 180 HH, 0.5" at 100 yards. I have a lot of once-fired factory 30-06 cases that are very useable for Hammer loads, even some that were (**gasp**clutch pearls**faints**) shot in one rifle, FL sized, and shot in a second rifle :eek: My load development for this season was literally: [LIST=1] [*]FL Size old brass from a gallon ziplock at the bottom of a junk tub [*]Load powder ladder charges [*]Seat to last PDR [*]I did put on a 2/8 crimp (but I didn't trim the brass so [I]who knows what that really did 🤡 [/I]) [*]Shoot the ladder so I don't accidentally make a bomb [*]Reload a bunch at the max charge [*]Kill animals [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
