[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1371085, member: 99718"] You should always keep your brands of brass together, I buy loaded shells shoot them then keep them in their rightful boxes. They may show max pressure at different points. I have so far not found I had to use a different load for my different types of magnum brass, Federal , Winchester, and Hornady . I don't measure my cases like it says in 51 s second and third paragraph, because I fire form my cases to fit the chamber tight and I only neck size the cases; this puts most all of the energy behind the bullet to get maximum velocity that I told you I was after for flatter shooting. What I do is basically in the last three paragraphs , my bolts do work a little stiff due to near maximum loads and only neck sizing. My father loaded for 60 years not taking the measurements stated above, nor have I for the 32 years that I have had to carry on the reloading for the family. Our smaller deer cartridges 222, 270, 30-06, 30-30, ect. we always full length resized and often mixed the types of brass, they all seemed to shoot about the same about min of angle. We never pushed these like I do the magnums, always under the manuals maximum loads. Again these are like the 45-70 in the way that they are mainly close range under 200 yard guns. In the total of our 93 years of reloading we only had one problem, probably back in the early to mid. 1960 s my father got a bad bunch of primers for the 222. We ended up shooting all that would go bang and I think my father buried the ones that didn't. Today I would pull the bullets and save the powder and probably not try to save the cases. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
