[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2151504, member: 101859"] I appreciate your comments. When a guy buys one of "my" reamers or a die from BC, I do not get a cut of that. Nor do I get paid for the specs. In some cases like my 300 NMI or 338 Lapua imp I have multiple resize reamers over 5 re grinds and test dies that I made that were trashed figuring out the correct specs so my customers would not have issues. So yes a lot of money can be sunk into figuring out specs when your dealing with a new case head. On some cases I don't give out the specs (although those with my specs do not always keep them proprietary). I can not afford to do the work for others in the business. On standard cases like this, I think it should be public info since so many are having issues. ADG brass is awesome stuff, it just has to be treated differently than softer brass. It really brings out short comings in dies and designs. Its worth figuring out in the long run though, the brass is that good. I have some of their SAUM brass out there in a couple 300 SAUM imp 1K BR rifles now, so I can now say it is capable of BR level accuracy and it will not wear out. I knew it was good and tough and the accuracy potential is there, but until you run it in an actual BR rifle capable of top accuracy you don't know how good. I would say, it is certainly at Lapua level. [/QUOTE]
