[QUOTE="Flintlock shooter, post: 1821145, member: 105834"] Maybe slightly off topic, but here is something to consider. I feel like the first firing on new brass is by far the hardest on the case. That being said, I develop a load the is approximately 1.5gr lower than the loads I shoot in competition. These loads are still accurate, just slower. I use them for practice or in one-day matches that aren't overly important. In my experience, the primer pockets seem to go first and this helps them to live longer. I strive to get 20+ firings on my cases. [/QUOTE]
