Hydro-formed 6 BRDX

[DJSBRS]

Just finished hydroforming 200 pieces of Lapua 6BR to 6 BRDX for Chris Z in WV. Lapua brass is still a harder metal than any other brass manufactures I work with.

Is this a good thing or bad? And why?
In your opinion.
Just want to know from someone that does this all the time.

In my opinion, It is a good thing for the tighter primer pockets to last longer. However, it does make the shoulders harder to resize to consistent tolerances unless you anneal regularly.
