Quote:When I had a wssm, the brass was of low quality too, and I never got more than 3 loadings out of it.
Not sure when that was, but my Dtech (built 2007) is very easy on brass. In fact, I never split a case or had a loose primer. I used both Winchester & Federal brass & never annealed.
ETA: Unfortunately, haven't shot it in the last year and a half as the landowner has prohibited ARs on the ranches I hunt. Best darned predator rifle I ever owned and wonderful hog rifle as well.
