[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1035141, member: 1290"] Don't forget to set it back a bit before reaming to improved. The improved is .004" shorter than the parent case. If it feeds good now it should feed fine improved. I am certain 250 fps for an improved is a pipe dream. I'm using a max load of RL-33 to get 2960 in a 30" barrel in the plain Lapua. It was only 100 fps better than our Retumbo load. Big speed and long case life do not go together. At 2960we are splitting necks at 5 shots. I forgot to anneal them. Hopefully that will extend the life of the brass. If your after longer case life back it down. I backed down my 300 Wby to 3100 fps with 210 Bergers and now am getting super long case life. [/QUOTE]
