[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1521187, member: 41338"] I load pretty much the same way as the OP. IMO, if a guy wants to save money, just buy a box of factory ammo and it'll probably last for years if your just hunting with it. I like good brass like Lapua because the primer pockets don't crap out as fast, just when I'm figuring something out. I probably have well over 30 reloads on some 6.5x47 brass that I've only annealed once. I can't kill the stuff. Heck, a box of 100 will last the life of the barrel. Seems relatively economical to me. I'd say, if you shoot loads that really don't push things, just buy any old brass. If your testing or regular loads push higher pressures, use good stout brass or your primer pockets will loosen up before the rest of the brass degraded to a point that it must be discarded. [/QUOTE]
