This particular batch is Hornady brass- the next batch is Nosler, and I am looking at switching to Peterson possibly after the Nosler. Picked up a box of the Peterson and really like the looks of it- but haven’t loaded any yet.
The loads are 1.1 grains less than max per Barnes, but average 34 FPS faster than max load data.
I have not annealed at this time.
I don't load Hornady brass anymore. Several years ago I bought some 300 win. SST's to see how they shot. After shooting a few I tried to prep the cases for loading. The burr inside the flash hole was so big and hard it was all I could do to remove it.
there is better brass out there.
But give us a full report anyway. Things may have changed.
