dans, just curious, how is your brass holding up. I'm not DanS but I'm the one who put the gun together and worked up the loads. Right now I'm around 15-16 times reloading and split one neck. Ive been annealing the brass about every 4 time. I also set the headspace at .002 clearance. Ive had to trim the OAL of the brass about 3 times. Some were over and some are not. We made our own brass by fire forming using 10 grains of Unique and Cream of Wheat. Annealing the brass first produced 2 split cases out of 50, not annealing first we had 14 spit necks. I'll be putting another gun together next week and plan on using the same load or maybe the 180 grain Speer @2800 fps. Both shot very good @ 200 yards. Mike

As Mike told you with all of his TLC the cases are doing fine. I figured at the pressure the .358 BFG operates they wouldn't last very many times but Mike proved me wrong.

byran at bfg says they last forever, I figured that was streching it a bit but it sounds like they might
