[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 2215688, member: 74115"] I've been doing the same as above. OCW followed by seating depth. I skip full length sizing as often as I can. I haven't had issues with the quality brass. I like to run the brass through an expander mandrel to make sure neck tension is more consistent. Makes sense to me it would help with OCW testing. Last weekend I did just that and when I graphed out my charge weights vs FPS it was shockingly smooth graph with one very noticeable flat spot. Unfortunately, I was too conservative and didn't load high enough charge weights to find max pressure. Based on the FPS (via LabRadar), I know I was getting very close (probably within a grain, two at the most). I hope to hit another flat spot right about where I ended, as the FPS is right where I'd expect/wanted to see. [/QUOTE]
