[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 8712, member: 34"] Brent You said;_______________________________ Darryl runs his like a top fuel dragster, one trip and that's all that matters, top speed is primary, everything else comes at a higher price beacuse it's secondary. ___________________________________________ Your close on that statement. It's "two trips" or two loads from my big cases when I'm on an Ultra Longrange hunt to Colorado and load the heavy load. 7 loadings with the lighter load. That means I can get two season out of the same cases using the top velocity load. A small price to pay on trips like as we have had over the years. Hunting brass is made to be replaced as far as I'm concerned. My hunting loads are all made for speed and "decent" accuracy so I can push the heavy bullets such as the 240gr 30 cals and the 300 gr 338s to their "top" killing potential . Has worked for us for "many" years now and I see no reason to change. When going to 1000 yard compititions with any other standard or imp mag chambering or standard cases, my loads are loaded way down so the brass will last most of the season. To each his own on this topic. I'll keep shooting my customs with big cases and you can continue to use the Remingtons. Good Luck though. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I've seen 6 actions (Rems and 70 Winchesters) blown by "one" fellow who use to "really" push the velocity envelope. His name was Herb Miller and he died in a fire several years ago. They blew into pieces not just a lock up situation and he lived through 6 of these happenings.
