I've been using it for around 15 months.
When new it was good, but after 2 - 3 firings the primer pockets start to get less tight than they ought to. I am not using hot loads, 40.5 Gn RL15 under 140 Gn NBT or Accubonds, travelling at 2835 fps MV in a 22" 1:9 twist barrel..

I shall probably replace with Nosler brass when the time comes, as I have had very good results with the .260 variety

Best

Thanks fellas....

Gonna have to reconsider the Norma stuff then...

Too bad Lapua doesn't make 7-08 brass, although I guess I can neck down from the 308 brass.
