    Well Seventenths it can differ from dry to wet normally in try times it's best for dogs they get on the move with a fixed number it would be 90 -110 per yr continuously but can be more or less in wet times depending on rain I can get 40-60 continuously, one year I had more farmers requiring me and I shot 219 for the 12mths but mind you its not always like that it's take what you can get I use Winchester brass but the last batch wasn't real good they had carbon inclusion in them looked like fly shit pushed into the brass and I don't like putting them in the rifle like that so I give them a run in the tumbler for 2hrs that cleans them up but all extra work I normally get around 9 firings because 31.6gr is the low end of the scale in the ADI reload manual also I only neck them until they get tight to chamber I anneal the necks every 3 loadings it took a lot of trial and error over the years and this is the best formula I've found I even do the same with my 7mm rem mag it's reasonably new so i'm only on my third firing on the brass I still only neck the brass I use Norma brass for it
