[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 88284, member: 8947"] I am shooting a box stock Savage 110C in 270. Standard 22" barrel. I have two, the other in 7RM and both enjoy running hard for their best accuracy. My load and lots of components are 150gr SST uncoated, 56.5gr H4831SC, Fed 210M, in fireformed and collet neck sized LC69 brass. The case volume is visibly larger then the FL sized brass. Kind of like a mildly improved case. After 5 to 6 reloads, pockets are still tight. I have found the LC brass to be the most tolerant of higher pressures. You just have to anneal the necks depending on batch. This brass is certainly capable of shooting as well as your barrel will allow despite being surplus brass with the quirks that go along with that. I do neck turn before necking down and that seems to work out well. I turn to 12thou then neck down and fireform. That yields a neck in the 14 to 16 thou range which seems ideal for my rifles and chambers. Every rifle is different and some don't shoot well when things get toasty. Also, different bullets have different bearing surfaces and jacket material which have a dramatic affect on bore friction. I am thrilled that these Savages perform as well as they do. Jerry [/QUOTE]
