I’m gonna need about 200 new 6 BRA brass in the very near future. I’d love to be able to just but it and not have to fireform it all

I guess I will wake this post back up.
It;s been a while, how are your primer pockets holding up after firing the Alpha brass a bunch?

Those that shoot the Alpha 6BRA brass and anneal with the AMP(non AZTEC mode) what setting do you use? AMP has no data for the Alpha brass and I am trying to avoid sending them pieces to be tested. Thanks.

I use 31.1 of H4895 with a 103 VT with a Lapua case for 3020-3030 fps. In the Alpha case 30.7 gets me to the same speed. I did still fire them all one time with a mild load.

Your setting will vary depending on number of firings and neck wall thickness. My number is likely not correct for your brass. Seems potentially counter productive to use an induction annealer at the wrong setting. The Aztec upgrade is worth the cost. You could run your brass on someone else’s Aztec to guesstimate the setting for your machine. Or you could send it in for their analysis. I would not feel comfortable annealing my brass at a setting derived from someone else’s brass.

Hi Alex, what primers are you using with the Alpha brass and 30.7 of H4895 ?

BR4

Anyone find the primer pockets to be small in diameter? ...... jim

Yes, in their 6 dasher brass had to push hard to seat the BR4, to the bottom, tried some Remington 7 1/2 and seating is normal... measured both primers...the Remington primers have a taper on the very front with the rest of the cup the exact size as the CCI which are a straight cylinder through out the diameter...So the primer pockets in the brass taper slightly tighter at the bottom. Use the Remington 7 1/2 in mine for a normal primer seat feel...the primers pockets hold up good.
