[QUOTE="nchunter182, post: 1281836, member: 42015"] I recently purchased 100 rounds of their new 375 CheyTac brass and wanted to pass along my impressions of the brass. I purchased this bass for forming into the 375 SnipeTac. Only brass I've dealt with so far in this caliber is Bertram. I've just begun to fire form it and have not yet built any loads for the rifle. Hopefully this spring when the weather improves. First off was the visual inspection of the brass. It came packaged in very nice flip top clear plastic boxes similar to the MTM series. Brass is beautifully polished inside and out with annealing discoloration just barley visible. The annealing appears to be very consistent - even all the way around the case and extending the same length below the neck-shoulder junction on each case. The case mouth edges are smooth, round and have been inside chamfered. I did find one that the case mouth was dinged up on. Nothing serious but not what I expected. Checked the flash hole with my flash hole deburring tool and just a few very small flakes of brass came out. I started the measuring checks by randomly picking 10 pieces of brass. The weight of the 10 pieces ran from 366.2-364.3grs, a spread of 1.9grs. Neck runout measured from .001" to a max of .0025". Neck thickness varied from .0134" to .0141". Neck thickness on each case had a variance of .0004"-.0005" max with some falling lower than that. Checked the primer pocket depth and they all measured just under .130" My Sinclair primer pocket uniformer just barely removes any brass from the pocket. A .077" drill bit will slide through the flash holes but an .080" will not. I don't have the sizes that fall between but I'd guess the holes to be around .078". Case length measured 3.033" with a +/- of .001". Overall I'm impressed with the brass. Looks like prepping this brass will take very little time. Only time will tell if it holds up to multiple reloadings. I don't have any experience with Peterson's other brass but it it is like this batch - I'd say it's pretty good brass. Jay [/QUOTE]
