| Actaully, not a whole lot to hide. I just purchased a bulk of brass that was Winchester flavor and I keep all my reloading consistent. Always had access to Rem. brass - but the price was too good to pass up on the Win. Tried .375 brass once, this just did not agree with the barrel during fire-forming. |

| By "not agreeing w/ the barrel during fire-forming" I mean like salt mixed w/ iced tea. Some people like, some don't. I had major case weight differences after fire forming the .375's. Out of 85 cases that started within +/- .2 grains, I was lucky to have 20 that were that close.(I weight my prepped cases to determine capacity consistency).The .30-30 cases seemed to retain a more consistent weight. Why ask the question after I purchased the brass? That's a fair question. I do not base my research on others results, however will learn from others findings. Make any sense? In other words, I'm going to form, reload, and accurize (is that a word?) a load using these shells period.If you would have posted a thread saying that you tried the same thing and it didn't work - shortened case life, fractures, etc. - I could keep a look out for the same things and maybe not try certain aspects of my reloading process.
