OFFICIAL Peterson Cartridge Customer Support Thread

I also have been pursuing Peterson 338 Norma brass. If anyone out there is switching to Lapua or Sig brass and would like to sell there Peterson brass, I am definitely in the market. Like others, I have a killer load with that brass and do not want to change.

I love the consistency of Peterson products, but due to their inability to continue to manufacture I will definitely have to reconsider using their brass for any future load development with other calibers.

As we have talked about earlier in this thread, it can take 3+ years to cycle through our 60+ offerings. Due to supply and demand, more popular casings have a more frequent run cycle. I can assure you we are at full tilt with 24/7 production in our 3 cells!

The usual first sign of case head separation is a bright ring around the case roughly 1/4" above the base on the body. This can sometimes be confused as die marks as many dies do not size the entire body. To confirm, you can straighten a paperclip and fold a small 90° at the end. You can then reach inside the case and see if you feel it "catch" a depression in the area the ring is externally. If you feel that, the casing needs to be retired. It's not worth the risk of causing damage to the firearm or yourself!

This is great! Thank you, very much. I'm annealing after each firing and bumping headspace about 0.001"-0.002", so I'm less worried about neck splits. However, I'm still relatively new to reloading and haven't had to worry about case head separation, yet. I'm not loading hot, either, so hopefully that will really help extend my brass life, too.

As soon as I decide on a rifle/barrel chambering, I order enough brass to wear it out. Especially important in cartridges that are less common.
