Good day,
Building a .30-06 SAMMI minimum spec. bolt gun and looking for brass. Tried new current Winchester and Nosler, both have problems with necks not cleaning up at 0.011", much less 0.013" or greater which is where I would like the necks to finish.
I've tried Greek CMP, unfired and deprimed LC from 43 and 54, Remington and Federal which all ended up being given to the Garand guys. I haven't tried RWS, Norma, or the new Lapua. I've heard Norma makes the Nosler brass and used to make the old Lapua .30-06 brass, so I haven't gone there yet. RWS is available for about $2/case, but I'm looking for 400-500 cases which would be about what I have in the barrel and gunsmithing.
Any folks with recent experience using and turning current .30-06 brass care to share their thoughts and/or sources for brass?
TIA,
DocB
