Rcc brass?

[Schw15]

Anyone use them? Price is high but suppose to give a long brass life even in bigger cals and magnums. Just seeing what people have to say about them good bad or in different

I had them make some .338LM Improved 40 brass for me based on my reamer print. Yeah, it's pricey, but the quality is outstanding and in my case eliminated my need to fireform for in the first place. The only problem I ran into is that I had to ream all of the primer pockets because they were too tight.

If quality brass is already available for the cartridge you want, I'd stick with that. But if you're shooting a wildcat or something where quality brass is non-existent, then definitely go the RCC route. Mine took a good six months and I got mine during a big sale at the start of the pandemic, which took some of the sting out of the price.

I don't have a crazy wildcat just 7mm-300 win mag. But I like the idea of brass made to chamber. Nicking down males some of the better brass to thick in neck and time you buy neck turning stuff and do it might be better. How do they hold up? Claiming 20 reloads

From my experience, I was getting 4-5 loads with my fireformed Lapua brass before I'd get the "about to get a casehead separation" ring. They were pretty stout loads, so if I dialed it back a bit I might get 5-7 loads, but that defeats the purpose of an Improved chamber. I switched to the RCC brass about a year ago, starting with a batch of 20 from the bag and reloading those. I am at 10-11 reloads right now with no sign of the ring so far, so it's definitely an improvement. Will it get to 20 loads? That remains to be seen.

That is positive though and sounding worth it in the long run maybe. Are you able to run faster in the rcc?

I have loads using N570, RL33, and LRT. The N570 is the best performing load, but it's the hottest with minor pressure signs and I'm not really inclined to push my luck by going any hotter.

Nice I'm half tempted to try 50 just to see. But seems like there working out great for you. I'm curious when you ever lose one if that happens in near future

The only one I've lost so far was sacrificial to the AMP annealer

Thanks for info. I was reading some guys claiming 50 reloads lol idk about that
