Jimmy, I cannot read that dimension at .200.
Sorry bud. It is .437.

Hammer those a few times at either of those loads and see how extraction and primer pockets hold up. That should be the upper node range for most of us. Looking and sounding very good so far. Thanks for doing this and sharing with the rest of us. If it'll take 10 of those at that load, I'd be happy but more than that is bonus territory to me.Just did the third firing. 30.4 grains of N133 on top. 30.7 grains on the bottom at 3580 FPS. Gun function was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Y’all work your load up. Do not assume you can duplicate what I am doing. Most of you know that, but for those that don’t…this is your PSA.

Yeah, with Lapua being so hard to get, you'd think people would be happy to see a viable domestic product. Thanks for doing this. You coming to the Nats?These will be along on every range trip so I can beat the snot out of them.
There are a lot of guys testing this brass. I am a bit bummed that everyone is tight lipped.

Do that a few times and send me a pic of your trophy! Nice!I am not going to make it Mike. The new job has me stepping and fetching. Since vacation time is limited, I am focusing on getting ready for the Tackdriver.
To wet the Alpha brass appetite, here is a 4 shot and 5 shot group at 300 yards when I fire formed these ten cases.
Why would it need that?I bet they'll come with a Legacy reamer for their brass. Maybe? What you think?
Because they offer many reamers for their other brass lines.Why would it need that?
No one I know of. It's supposed be available mid October at PMA. If you pre order now on there website you get free shipping.That 30.4 of N133 is my usual load with my own 68 grn BT and Lapua made from the 220 Russian.
I don’t worry too much about primer pockets. They are going get loose when shooting 68 grn bullets at 3430 fps. As long as the Rifle aggs at a competitive level, I just ignore the loose pockets.
Who has Alpha in stock? I want to get some, but it seems all of the major suppliers are out.

I do not think so. Pre-order only.PMA has it in stock now.
At this point, are you seeing reamer related issues?Because they offer many reamers for their other brass lines.
No, Im just asking a question. Since they offer reamers for lots of their other brass. They may offer a reamer for this stuff once it takes off. That's allAt this point, are you seeing reamer related issues?
