[QUOTE="AKBman, post: 2298561, member: 898"] I knew the Peterson brass had less capacity, it weighs 30 grains more than the Norma brass. This is why I went back to the starting loads, I was merely surprised to see pressure signs 3 grains off max, and 2.5 grains lower than where I have been loading the same bullet in my Norma brass. I really like the Peterson brass, and I am not going to be looking for any Norma brass at this time. I have gotten excellent case life from the Norma cases, and have little doubt that I will get the same from the Peterson. When I shot these, I was at 5300 feet of elevation, temp was 84 degrees F, humidity was 17%, starting loads gave me 2824fps, the top charges I had loaded gave me 2917 fps. Top load in Norma brass nets me 2825, same box of bullets, same box of primers, and same bottle of powder. Seating depth was 3.420. I know that the chamber in my Sendero is on the tight side. I care more about the accuracy and case life than I do top velocity, 180 degrees out from 30 years ago. [/QUOTE]
