I'm still on my first batch of Alpha in my 6mm Creedmoor.Powder coated 400 40cal bullets today and primed 600 40 cal brass. Getting ready to load up some rounds.
I also invested in some alpha brass for my 7mm. I've never used them before but they came highly recommended. Anyone ever used them before?

That's great. Sounds like I picked the right stuffI'm still on my first batch of Alpha in my 6mm Creedmoor.
I measured and weighed every way to Sunday when they came in.
I found them to be essentially identical across the spectrum.
I just primed them and loaded them.
I've got about 12 rounds left from the 1st loading.
Haven't worked any of the brass yet.
I'll report when I do.
ETA. Accuracy is very good.
Head stamps are very legible and extremely consistent as well.
Primer pocket tension was as well.
I think it's worth the price.That's great. Sounds like I picked the right stuff

Well I was holding out for Peterson brass but when I reached out to them they basically said they weren't going to be making 7-08 brass for a while. Alpha seems to be about the same price range. Couldn't find Lapua or Norma either.I think it's worth the price.
I'll know for sure after the 2nd resizing.
I will always remember the first time I tumbled brass. I was a new rookie reloader with a small amount of mixed brass. Tumbled them all together.Last two days I ran two tumblers full of 40 and one of 9mm. In this session I seemed to have mixed the two calibers with a smattering of 45 thrown in. I took the time to correct things so I should be good to go now.
Hoping to have some time with my grandson over Crimbus break.
Loaded 200x 40cal last night and wanted to clean them up a little. They rode the tumbler for about 12 hours but man do they look prettySince Halloween?
Lol, like those Christmas nesting dolls.Just as it was getting dark last night I found one 9 inside a 40 inside a 45. I knew I was done at that point.
Someone on here recommend the timers people use for Christmas lights.Loaded 200x 40cal last night and wanted to clean them up a little. They rode the tumbler for about 12 hours but man do they look pretty
