[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 1102100, member: 76832"] I agree about Lapua being cheaper in the long run. I made some 338 edge brass just like the other poster and saw the same thing. Didn't last and my buddy only got 4 firings out of each of the 50 I had made (and not all of them were perfect. It took two brass to get the die just right.) After they were fire formed, they saw one firing in load development and got about 2 more firings after that. For a guy just learning to shoot long ranges, it was a failed project. Pretty rifle... Very expensive to shoot. I don't want to discourage you from it, but I am toying with a .338 project and am leaning towards Lapua for that same reason. Not to mention the freakin edge dies are rediculous expensive! [/QUOTE]
