Alpha 6BRA brass

[Ccrider]

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

Yes I do. On a related note, how is everyone dealing with this. I chose to leave the lockers alone, figuring they will open up soon enough and then I can uniform them.

I struggled uniforming the first order of Dasher brass I got using a Sinclair uniformer. I asked Tom at Alpha about it and he suggested I look at the uniformer from PMA Tool.

I have the 21st century and no doubt it will uniform them. I just wonder if the benefit in uniforming will outweigh the harm in opening them up at the bottom. As long as my es stays in the single digits I will not be touching the pockets.

The PMA tool works awesome for the pockets. Nice fit and cut. For what it is worth....they don't open up. The case head is hard as sh#t!

Anyone run the OCD version of the bra brass?

 

[rhovee]

That’s what Glenn set the record last year with…. Runnin them a little rich.

Just curious; any updates on your testing?

I can't say, they're certainly decent brass. Probably more even for thickness around them than lapua. It's gonna be a year before I would say I can decide what is "best", as I have lapua on more than 40 firings that shoots just like it did at 3rd cycle. I'll do my best to do a good job testing some things and reporting to them what I discover. I wouldn't wait on me, buy alpha, lapua, or both and have at it.

No I haven't got back to it.

3 testing weekends left before the first match. Lots of stuff to test, little time. We have some pretty cool ignition stuff being tested now, thats always been the most interesting part of the rifle for me.
