Thread: Best brass for relaoding

Are you looking for brass life as “best quality” ?
I got at least half a dozen loads from 303 Norma brass and it was still going strong. In the 7mm08 it did a good dozen before any failures at all. One key thing is to size the brass only just enough (0.003”) to fit easliy back into the chamber.
