Yes. I dropped some 225 ELD-M in it and they poke into the foam about an 1/8”. Don't rattle too.
Thanks for the measurements man! I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that their case capacity will be as close as the other measurements you took.
.002 - .003 ES for OAL, shoulder, and primer pocket depth is right in there with my 6.5x47 Lapua stuff.

I also have a great experience with this brass. I use it mainly for 6.5 SAUM. I hot rod my loads with this cartridge and I am still getting 10 loadings or so before my pockets start loosening up. H20 capacity has been fairly consistent. I’m able to achieve 6SD/14ES with the particular load. I did find neck tension to be a little inconsistent with the virgin brass. I would recommend resizing or Atleast running a mandrel. Your mileage may vary.
They weren't as buggered as Lapua have been in the past, but I did run all through my mandrel die and then through a bushing. Afterwards, neck tension felt really good.
I bet you’d be in great shape then. I dove off into HBN coating bore, bullets, and necks for my ELR work. I don’t think it’s necessary for 800 and in, but anything past that (cartridge dependent) would probably benefit from it. It and annealing after every firing really helped out with seating pressure especially when I was playing with neck tension.
That brass looks wonderful!
Looks like the flash holes are drilled rather than punched, which would account for the lack of burrs.
The necks are smooth, with no serration as can be seen with cheaper brass.
Very consistent.
