[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 739936, member: 15748"] Lefty, Good catch and something that I clearly forgot to mention. Yes, absolutely. US Military 30-'06, regardless of which plant it came from was decidedly heavier than commercial 30-'06 brass. As a result, the loads [U]must[/U] be reduced or serious pressure problems will result. This, of course would apply to 280 Rem, 270 WCF, 25-'06 or any other case that might be made from reformed USGI brass. Same situation applies to 7.62x51/308 Win brass as well; USGI cases must have their loads reduced to compensate for the heavier construction, or problems will result. Oddly enough, this doesn't hold true for 5.56/223 Rem military cases, which are no different than most commercial cases, and even lighter than some. Good catch, and thanks for pointing that out!
