[QUOTE="PrairieHunter, post: 2684243, member: 125422"] I agree that I should have started from a low point and worked my way up in this new rifle. That is my plan at some point to develop a custom load for this Savage just as I did with each of the Weatherby rifles. And all of the load development will be done using Fed brass kept from firing Fed factory ammo from only this rifle (like Dusty suggests). However, with that said, I never fired anything in this new gun from a Nosler or Win case. But when I used the marker test as described, that brass had areas of rubbing whereas the Fed brass did not. That is what is confusing me. Would shooting that Nosler or Winchester brass in the Weatherby rifles, then resizing (in the same resizing die that I ran the Federal brass through) not produce identical sized cases? Why the difference between Federal and everything else? [/QUOTE]
