| how many times can I fire Nosler .308 brass? I'm reletivly new loader, i know the signs, but I don't know if I'm getting close. I'm pretty close to getting my exact load, I don't what to change anything now. They've been fired 4 times. I do not full size, I just neck size. Does brass get less accurate after so many fire forming? |
| Are you fire forming to a .308 Ackley Improved, or something? The biggest issue I have had with brass is split necks from sizing the brass too often, and loose primer pockets. Your biggest enemy is case-head seperation, and can be check with a toothpick, plastic straight pick, etc. If you are shooting an AI, you should only have to fire form once, but your brass will form to the chamber after full length sizing everytime you shoot. Four loadings in a standard .308 load should not be exceeding the life of the brass, but I do not know your load, gun, loading habits, etc. Just check for the signs, and go from there. |
