[QUOTE="Broz, post: 785588, member: 7503"] No not at all. RWS is tough stuff and great brass. But it is thick and heavy so the thickness results in loss of case capacity. I have found that when I have a load worked up in WW, RP, Lapua, Graff, or other cases with a higher volume and I switch to RWS I need to drop the charge by 3 to 4 gr. or it will be over pressure. I don't feel there is a huge loss in velocity, if any, I really have not compared them all to see what will produce the highest velocity. I use some of an old stash of Lapua and I get great velocity and can run the charge up. My reason for posting that was not to discourage the use of RWS, but to let people know that your starting and finished charges will need to be lower in RWS brass, compared to cases with higher volumes.
