[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 76994"] [b]Re: Some math with it, and what about brass life?[/b] Brass life depends on size of chamber and how hot you load it. If your maxing out your loads then viable reloadings of it will decrease if your using a lower veloctiy load that nets you better accuracy you can epxect longer brass life. I have a 7mm stw and I have reloaded the brass 6 to 7 times but my loads are not hot and my chamber isnt bad. Pulled powder is ok if your using it for plinking but its consistancy will not match some of the smokeless powder manufactures. It usually is also temp sensitive and extreme spread may fluctuate beyond what your wanting. Many variables come into play when you start talking long range hunting, culling your brass, weighing your bullets, weighing your loads, seating depths, extreme spreads, proper bullet weight for twist, type of scope, trigger enhancements, bedding the rifle, the muzzle crown, and many more items all contribute to extended shooting ranges. The more of them you buy the best of the less error you will have this does not mean that you may have an accurate rifle the shooter plays the biggest part in this equation and pratice is key. But you can be certain that your rounds are consistant and this is one key element of accuracy. Dan Lilja writes a nice article on long range hunting and its a good read. I suggest you browse his site and look for it maybe some of your questions can better be answered in a more technical meaning? Dave [/QUOTE]
