Hot Load, New brass??

Pre64 · Sep 14, 2011

2nd question..

I developed a load for the .270 using brass fired from that rifle. That load is pushing the envelope. I'm wondering if using new brass for the same load will cause an increase in pressure.

It should not make any real difference as long as you stay with the same brand of brass. Using Winchester brass to develope a max safe load and switching to Remington brass can cause pressure spikes as Remington brass normally have thicker case walls and less internal space.

Tnx again RELH,

All my rifles are set up for elk. I drew a pretty good deer tag, and we are moving one week prior to opening day. Gotta pull out an old recipe and do some quick range work.

Tnx,
Jim

I used the brass for this load 3+ times and it started to show wear. Its done. All I have is new brass and I haven't time to work up a new load. All Winchester brass.

Now I'm outta bullets too. Plenty of elk loads though. Great problem to have. Which rifle????
