[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 111742, member: 3532"] I bought some of their match grade brass for 300 wby cause it was pretty cheap compared to real wby brass. It loaded up beautiful. Very little runnout with virtually no case prep and every bullet felt like it seated with the same tension. I was very happy. Then I went to the range and found out that even mild loads of say 3200 fps w/180 grain bullets was ruining the primer pockets. They got loose faster than anything I'd ever seen. I called them and the guy said I must be way over pressure. I said same chrono same speed with other brass and many reloads without primer pocket failure. I had a couple of boxes of that brass (brand new on my shelf) with different lot numbers but no matter what lot number I used the primer pockets went to heck in a load or two. Guess I'm done with it too!! [/QUOTE]
