Is that safe to reload such a Magnum load for 15 times?
Usually ends up on the 7th or 8th reload and go for new brass, they looks fine, but just don't know if its good to further reload them.

At roughly $280 per 100 pieces of brass for Lapua .338 Lapua Magnum cases, I shoot them until the neck splits and it's been fine so far. Had just one neck split on a set that has 13 firings so far.

Re: TRG vs. AI

DeauxJoe:
Why not try to get a DTA SRS or Blaser Tac2? Heard good things on both of them.
They can swap barrel and caliber in field. Both cover 338LM and smaller cartridge like 308, 243 or even 223 for Tac2 in a single rifle chassis, purchase chassis as rifle and get the new caliber kit like order AR parts, and I believe although they'll cost more than a TRG, but still cheaper than AW.

IMHO, The Blaser LRS is too light for the 338. My buddy has the LRS in 300WM and the felt recoil is similar to my AWSM338. I can only imagine what the actual 338 LRS is like. And don't get me wrong, I love the Blaser. It shoots great. Plus if I really had to hump that thing around all day, I'd take the LRS any day. But there is something to be said for a little extra weight behind the muzzle.

I was told that in Finland, army guys and civilians are asked by law to bring ALL fired cases back to some certain government department, otherwise they break the law.
If this is true, it might explain why TRG's have such a weak ejection.... </div></div>
Not true.

Do you anneal your cases? Either way that's pretty good brass life.
