[QUOTE="Rckymtnshooter, post: 1312080, member: 93937"] Just an update on this brass. Upon first loading I was very surprised at how loose the primer pockets were for new brass. I did a ladder test with this brass initially and used 43 rounds to complete. I loaded up the last 16 rounds and the sized and loaded the once fired. I was really not happy with the primer seating. Some of the rounds I actually looked to see if my hand primer had not picked up a primer they seated so easy. Right away I could see the powder was sitting lower in the case with the once fired. I measured a new piece of sig brass with a bump guage at 2.193. I then measured my once fired sig brass, that had already been sized at 2.212. My dies were set to give me .003 bump with the hornady brass I had been using. I then measured a new unfired Hornady at 2.203 and a new unfired Remington at 2.202. With the extra growth length and gained capacity I am curious to see if my results from the ladder test will change similar to what Broz recently wrote about. May not be a good brass to develop loads with when new. Long story short I am not happy with the Sig brass. [/QUOTE]
