I have about 250 rounds through the gun most of them hand loads with 28.7 gr of LVR and 105 BTHP with a velocity of 2685 to 2710 depending on environment. Very light ejector marks on 35% of the brass with no marks on the remaining brass. I've shot some hotter loads during development but very few and not what I would consider excessive. This is a 22" barrel that gave velocities of 2765+ with hornady black ammo.
grayfox. My brass came from factory ammo and once fired measured 1.191"+- with a hornady headspace comparator and settling in at 1.192" after second firing. The same brass now measures 1.1935" and once fired Lapua brass 1.195"
I use a Hornady FL die and bump the shoulder .0025-.003" and trim to 1.483"
