    I've recently changed to Winchester brass, 67.3gr Rl26, Fed 215's and 20 thou jump for 2800fps.

    What brass were you using? I've just picked up some winchester brass thanks to @ANTSMAN. I've loaded up 6 of 66-69 with new norma brass but from what I've seen online the norma is very soft brass
    ANTSMAN likes this.
