So I am curious how much brass life is shortened using small base dies as opposed to fl dies
zero?
case lengthening and stretching is what gets you. or neck splits. not working the brass at the base.
Wrong. Work hardening the base by excessively sizing then firing in a chamber that is quite a bit bigger is what gets you. I'll take a neck split (not that big a deal) shortening or lengthening over a case head separation any day. Case head separation will ruin your day, probably permanently.
You want to watch for incipient case head separation I had a case separate in an AR No biggie ou just have to learn to get the broken case out of the chamber. A fired case works well.Wrong.
