I do that now with my Creedmoor. Trim parent cases to Creed length, FL size, check trim length and done. But I understand the point.
from the quote below
And the velocities posted by most Creed owners.
I do agree with this. However far too many don't test things equally. How many times will you see someone talk about weighing brass by volume? Weight and volume are not the same, there is no single recipe to making brass alloys, and no one could answer about volume variations on a given production run from a factory anyway? The assumption by most, is that if you load "the same" load in different brass that somehow pressures are identical; and typically are loading extruded powder by weight not volume.
So don't know how far over Pressure they are, but if they change something but pretend it's the same, if the brass suffers it is inferior quality....
Does Lapua make good brass? I'm sure they do. Does Hornady have poor brass quality? No they do not.
For anyone out there in TV Land who is curious. When Pressure testing the Creedmoor last fall, we found that for every 75-100 fps increased, you will add 10-15,000 psi.
With 140's the Creedmoor SAAMI's at about 2700 fps. So anyone who rambles on about how they are pushing them to 2,900-3,000 fps. "With no pressures"; is a bloody fool.
