BPCR Brass - Stretching or Shortening Over Time?
For those of you interested, I just posted a short article on my website titled BPCR Brass - Stretching or Shortening Over Time? It was published in the recent edition of The Single Shot Exchange Magazine. I did make a few modifications prior to posting it on my website. Here’s the link: http://www.texas-mac.com/BPCR_...ening_Over_Time.html

Wayne, that's just fantastic that your annealing and loading techniques have allowed you to load the same brass 38 times, and no end in sight. I had no idea such case longevity was possible, although I would bet that black powder cartridge cases could outlast smokeless, when properly cleaned, due to the lower pressures and temperatures. Thanks for posting!
