I’ve had some fun ones so far and I’ve only going into the third firing on the brass. I’ve had pressure signs on the case head at relatively low pressure nodes, cratered primers (cci450) at lower nodes, weird bullet slip after the first firing causing me to get a tighter bushing then recommend by alpha. I’ve talked to the guys at alpha pretty extensively, sent them all the measurements off my brass to compare it against their standards for case dimensions and everything is with in spec except the slightly thinner neck.
I figured I’d save time and money with factory brass offering, but it seems I’ve spent more time and money trying to diagnose the weird stuff then it’s been worth. I like Alpha’s products but I’ve got a slight sour taste in my mouth now from this, and I’m shocked my “shitty” federal brass I’ve used/abused in my 6creed is holding up stellar.
