A thought struck me earlier (and yes Francis it did hurt a little
)
Anyway. I have a set of 50 cases 6PPC. They have been fireformed, fired again in practice and fired in a match. So that's 3 firings.
Before I re-sized them the last time I measured the outside diameter to see if they were all uniform and they were at .269 the same as my chamber.
I cleaned and resized them with a .264 bushing and all cases measure .2635 to .264.
EVEN 5 cases that have an extra 5 firings each. So those cases would have a total of 8 firings on them. And still show to resize down to the proper bushing size.
How many times before the spring in the brass starts to change.
I always hear of guys that toss the 5-10 cases they use for an agg at the end of the agg and others that say they have 20-30 firings on a case.
I have checked the inside of the cases for donuts and head separation and dont find any internal indicators as yet on theses.
I dont feel checking my last years cases would be valid since I annealed them prior to the last 2 matches of the year.
What have you found in measuring cases?
Facts are appreciated and opinions are welcome.
