[QUOTE="laserflat, post: 752296, member: 41055"] Im not saying its anything magical. But I didnt think it was a secret that .338 Lapua brass, and all Lapua brass for that matter, holds up under many repeated full-tilt loads better than most other brass.. Thanks for the replies yall, anyway, I was wondering if you took, say, the .50 BMG, which is fairly low pressure compared to modern magnum rounds, and doubled the thickness of the brass throughout most of the case, and had very high quality brass used, would it make very much difference in how much pressure it could handle? Assuming you have an action that can handle it of course.. Or does the case head size dictate that theres going to be so much bolt thrust, that case thickness doesnt matter much at that point? Thanks again [/QUOTE]
