303 Brass Web Seperation

[mausernut]

Thanks for the info. I am going to use that case some more as the movement on the gauge was only a couple of thousandths, but it will be marked so I can keep an eye on it.
As all of my guns will mostly be used for hunting 5 to 7 reloads from them will be fine. Most of the time my deer hunting involves 1 shot. I do do some target shooting with them but until I retire I won't have time to shoot enough ( as this is my stress relief it is frustrating. Wanted to shoot last night but my MS caught up with me and my energy went to 0.) One of these days I am going to get to shoot until i have a recoil headache (only managed this twice). Life sucks because it keeps getting in the road.

As to brass lasting in other guns I have found Federal to be the worst for coming apart at the web. I usually shy away from it. Have had really good luck in other guns with Winchester. Not even sure how many loads I have for my 6.5 x 55 and my 30-06 Mexican Mauser and it is still fine.

I usually try to use different makes of brass for each gun to make it easier to keep them separate. Really like to start with new brass for each gun but I find the selection in local gun stores is abysmal. Hate buying factory ammunition just to get brass. Trying to empty my ammo cabinet of all factory ammo so I have room for my reloads.

Thanks
