[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 2363298, member: 102083"] I dont use full pressure loads to FF brass even new brass that just needs 1x fired I dont because I have found the web tends to expand more unless I back off about 1.5 the first FF load. How do you know what a full power load will be anyway on your 30-284 unless you've had one before. Here's how I do it whether right or wrong but its worked well. Run atleast .003 neck tension maybe .004 jam the bullet .010-.015 into the lands and fire away. Try a load just under max for a .284, with heavier bullet and see if they come out with a fairly sharp shoulder if not increase .5 at a time untill you do. You need to get rounds down the barrel anyway to get through speed up and to settle down will probably take enough to quite a few brass formed, you can save some to FG for foulers also. You can try a few different powders also will give you an idea what powder your barrel prefers. [/QUOTE]
