Title: Re: new brass Post by BCB on Sep 12th, 2017 at 12:45pm
I’m still using the 1st fifty pieces of Graf brass I purchased several months ago. Some of it has been reloaded a dozen times. I am using cast boolits with full charges of WC-872, a super slow burner. This is producing pressures in the neighborhood of 23000 psi according to QL. So, that is not brutal…
I have trimmed them several times and they just keep going. Only sizing about ¾ of the neck though… I have measure H₂O capacity and it is a tad (not too scientific, but I don’t have my records in front of me) less capacity than the R-P cases. I did chronograph both cases with equal charges of powder and the Graf produced 30-40 fps more velocity… I like it and I purchased another bag of 50 pieces… Good-luck…BCB |
