[QUOTE="Clark, post: 1044374, member: 6600"] I think I only fire 50 rounds a year of 7mmRM. 2 shots to kill two bucks, the rest at long range targets. I have given up on reloading the brass. It would be too much trouble to keep the brass assigned to one 7mmRM rifle. I have (3) factory rifles and (4) I built myself, and more on the way. I headspace at 0.215", not 0.220" per SAAMI and the headspace gauges. That is because I have not found any brass longer than 0.215" to the end of the belt. That tighter headspace is better for the brass, if it will fit, but I am not reloading. If I have ~ 17 hunting seasons left before I am too old the hunt, I have a lifetime supply of new brass. I run it hot. 11 gr more than max published and 2 grains less than the threshold of long brass life. [/QUOTE]
