I've only used it in 280 Ackley, but I have no complaints. My loads are for hunting, so I don't shoot a lot of rounds through that rifle. My loads are pretty stout though and the brass has held up well. I think I have 4 firings on my oldest pieces and they're still going strong. The only pieces I've had to retire were the result of pressure getting too high during load work up causing loose primer pockets.

The brass does hold up as well as any. However, it is pricey and in a number of cartridges which I have loaded, the primer pockets are extremely tight. I just loaded up some 30-06 brass yesterday, and there were no obvious problems. In the past, the life of the brass was equivalent to Lapua and/or Norma.
