30-06 brass life
I have now owned (and still own) 243, 30-06, 7mm WSM, and 270 centerfire rifles. Seems a little odd to me, but anything that I have reloaded for (270 and 30-06) that is based of a 30-06 case seems to just keep on looking fine as far as brass life goes. I have brass that I know has been fired 8 or 10 times that looks just fine. 243 on the other hand, not soo long at all. 4 times is about the max. I have been using exclusively winchester brass in the 243 which may explain the short life, but has anyone else had good brass lif with the ole 30-06?
