In 204r ,I have shot Winchester,Remington,Hornady,and Federal.None has been shot more than 3 times,except the Federal,which I first used for load workup in my LRPV.I did not anneal,and the cases have 12 fireings.Try annealing the necks to see if that helps.Other brass is Norma,Nosler(made by Norma,I...
