Alpha brass

[kd4avp]

Since the Lapua brass is getting to be almost non-existent, has anyone had success with the Alpha brass in 6BR?

I have 308 SRP alpha brass I have fired 50 times in my FTR rifle.

On alpha brass is anyone running a uniformer in the pockets? PMA?

I am not. Trying to let nature take its course. They seemed to loosen slightly after a couple of loadings.

Video interview 2 says pretty much after 1st firing. The PMA is slight smaller in diameter I believe as well.

Don't. The pockets are tight, on purpose. You're ruining good brass if you ream them out.

What about anyone hydro-forming Dasher from Alpha BR brass?

One might assume that everything should work the same.

I'm about to get a new barrel and brass prepped for it.... Now I can't find lapua brass

Alpha makes 6 Dasher too, ready to load...I just mandrel it, and load it in my 6 dasher...I use Remington 7 1/2 primer as they have a slight taper on the cup, and seat like normal instead of the tight feel of the 450 CCI .

Nope, Remington 7 1/2 primer for the first few firings...takes care of the tight primer pockets as the Remington primer has a slight taper or champher on the front edge of the cup instead of a straight cylinder like the other primers...seriously takes care of the problem...try it for yourself.
