[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3993267, member: 48072"] Loaded the final 22 pieces of "virgin" Lapua brass for my second 6.5x47 today. Followed that up with 25 rounds of .308 for my M24R. It is a 7.62x51, but you can adjust your .308 sizing die to keep from bumping the shoulder .010 😄. ^ Tested the H2O capacity of just 10 cases of Lake City LR brass. I had bought it thinking it would be more "clone correct", and would also be pretty consistent...nope. I had a .9gr ES in just those 10 cases, and the SD is close to a half-grain. ^ Then I measured 10 cases of Federal brass that is non-commercial, military stuff (came with the 7.62x51 FGMM ammo with a FC 14 headstamp). ES was .5gr, and SD was under .2. Heck, I was happy-is with the SDs around 10 using the LC LR stuff...now I'm a lot more excited because I'm going to try reloading the FC 14 brass next. [/QUOTE]
