About 25 years ago, I bought a very nice swedish mauser.
With the rifle I bought Lapua match ammo, berdan primed.
I used these cases all those years, in the beginning fl resizing, later neck sizing.
Yes, I've lost some due to split necks, but still use the remaining.
Must have reloaded them at least 20 times, probably more.
I once stress relieved them by heating, but that was too much work for me.
Important: my loads are not for hunting, but for target, and I consider them to be moderate.
