I have a MKV 24" non-brake and some MKV 26" braked. Braked is less than 30.06 for sure, but hard for me to compare as my 30.06 is Braked.
I do recommend either double ear plugs, or the best you can buy. Just my opinion.
A thing I was told by Hodgdon, even though powders have not changed, primers today are hotter than a couple of decades ago, so if using the same recipe, chances are loads would be hotter.
If cases and loading data are made available for other cartridges, then I would definitely consider it. I just can't see me buying another rifle. I still ahve a few I have never fired.
All rumors I heard, nope! But until it hits the market, it’s all rumors
CORRECTION: quote from Federal's announcement "The Peak Alloy case is also reloadable when following Federal’s lab-tested processes and data."
Personal experience with Hornady products. Loaded ammo I tried, 22-250, 300 WBY, 300WM...waste of money, popped primers...inconsistent
I also don't like their brass and only used their projectiles for cheap fun when suppiles were limited. Again, personal experience and preferences.
I apologize, I missed it. I only asked, because that looked like something that happened to me while resizing cases. Hopefully Nosler does the right thing here
