Yup, brass is just fine. This is my second lot of reloads and I should have started reloading a long time ago. The Benchmark shoots just fine and its not as dirty as H4895. Zero @ 100yds, tac driver. 200yds, its opens up to about 1 3/4" groups. 300yds, it was kind tough cuz by the time I had worked up to 300yds, the wind came about. Still, 6" low, 6" to the left and still had a 2 1/2" pattern. I never got that out of factory loads. I was thinking about upgrading my Savage 30.06 to a Remington 700 but after this performance, why? Somy Savage isa bit banged up but it still shoots great. Maybe a new stock.
