[QUOTE="Calamity Jake, post: 2349994, member: 12219"] "So are you saying cases will never stretch in a properly set up gun..? If so what is a set up gun? If cases never stretched or grew then the cases would last forever if you annealed to keep hardness in check." If the gun has minimum or close to minimum head space from the factory then it is set up right. Talk to a bench rest shooter, they neck size only and will shoot the same 5-10 cases for up to 50 shots without ever setting the shoulder back, of course there gun has minimum head space.. I have 30-06 brass that is dedicated to one rifle(a milbolt rifle at that) that has over 50 reloads on them, after the first firing in said rifle the brass has never been FL sized and the shoulder never set back any, I anneal after 10 firings and neck size with a Redding bushing NS die. I have the same setup for a Rem. 788 in 222 I PD hunt with, I neck size only, no case stretch. [/QUOTE]
