[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1474378, member: 4191"] No offense, but you're unlikely to have any desire to run the Hornady brass, compared to the Norma 8x68S. I'll have to go back and revisit at my 8x68S case prep and fire forming process, and see how much deeper I can run [B]elkaholic[/B]'s reamer in without running out of the available 8x68S parent case length. With my magic lube oil and COW fire forming methods, I incurred only minor case length shrinkage as the cases blew out to fill my chamber. Then determine if I want to wildcat a wildcat. A wildcatted wildcat is still a WILD cat. :) It just scoots faster. I'm not into it for resale value... I don't have any desire to jump up to 300RUM case capacity. Already have one bore cooker. One purpose of the 30/375 S.I. (for me) was to achieve decent bore life AND improved MV with the heavy for caliber bullets. It's a nice compromise. [/QUOTE]
