Hey guys,
First, new member long time reader, thanks for any info.
Been reloading about a year and half now, I've got about 9 reloads through a batch of Lapua brass in 308. Loads are no where near max 43.3 gr Varget 175 SMK's CCI BR2 primers 2610 FPS. Gun is Savage 10FP about 1200 rds down tube. Brass looks fine to me, just curious how many shots you guys are comfortable putting through brass. My main concern is primer pockets. Using an RCBS hand primer tool, dosen't take nearly the amount of force now to seat primers as it did 4 or 5 shots ago. By the way, this load will do 1 in at 300 yds if I do my part if anyone wants to try it. Again, thanks for any info.
