| I have tried some in 7 x 57 and I liked them a lot. Very good consistency. Have not found any more for a decent price, other wise I would buy some more.
Cheers and Good shooting seafire |

| My limited experience with the 6.5 Swede brass wasn't good. A box of target ammo(fmj) and a box of SP ammo was fired and reloaded the first time, shot and reloaded once again. First shot from the 2nd reloading batch had a case seperation. I pulled apart the remainder of the rounds and found incipient case/head separtion in most of the brass. The second firing showing signs of separtion isn't good. Foolish me for not checking the inside of the brass with a bent paper clip sooner(note to myself, check every round every time). I should have paid better attention to the brass. Perhaps that particular brass lot was sub standard and/or my reloading technique was not up to par which could have contributed to early case failures. To date my 200 Hansen/Privi/nny brass cases have gone through 8 reloading cycles. I've a few other odd lots of brass which have gone through more than three cycles but less than eight cycles of reloading. As yet, only my PMC brass is retired. Best-o-Luck |

| I personally try to stay away from PMC Brass. Theirs and Federal Brass are really soft as compared to Winchester and Remington. Winchester has bagged brass for sale so if it were me I would just go that route. I have it in stock all the time. www.cliffsgunsmithing.com-Spencer |

| I don't hear much mentioned about PMC brass positively or negatively. I use Lapua brass in my 6.5x55 and find it's very good. The dimensions are quite uniform as is the weight from one case to another. It's a bit pricey but no where near as steep as Norma. All the Lapua products are excellent for this caliber, cases, Lapua Scenar bullets and the affiliated VihtaVouri powders. Sinclair ( www.sinclairintl.com) carriers all the components. Best wishes.

| Many thanks everyone -just the sort of feedback I was looking for and I will therefore give the PMC stuff the miss.
Sounds like Lapua is the way to go - failing that, Winchester, Norma or Remington.
Much appreciated! |
