Factory crimp dies
Two thoughts; I shoot 308 in an M1A---never crimped unless shooting 147 grainers with the cannelure. My bolt gun has never used ammo with a crimp, except for the 147's. In both cases, it's never been an issue. I have used the Lee Factory crimp die---for bullets without the cannelure---I noticed...- mforsch

Why so much garbage 338 Lapua brass?
I recently ordered some brass from "Brassman" (.com); used, military stuff. It arrived in average condition and after a good cleaning and the usual prep work it was quite alright. He does have Lapua-Lapua 338; shot by military bolt guns----for a decent price. I too, tried a few types of brass...- mforsch

build or buy 338 Lapua ?
Had a McMillan, had a Dakota Arms; both were well made, fit and fucntion were flawless; grouped very well once I found the "load" they liked. Each shot well with Lapua ammo; but I reload and prefer my own, so it took me a bit to discover a happy combination. Both rifles liked Lapua brass (as did...- mforsch

Wet tumbling brass color change after annealing brass?
Most of the "dish soaps" have high alkalinity types of "degreasers", i.e. ammonia (notorious for darkening brass)----I don't recognize "lemishine", but I assume that it's a citrus based cleaner; as such the citrus acids may act to transport brass between components of different alloy make ups (a...- mforsch
