[QUOTE="918v, post: 1180710, member: 84964"] So I went back and reread the literature and I was wrong. It's not 60% per reload cycle, more like 20%. Two to three reloads increase hardness by 60%. But, the fact remains that a reloaded case shoots different than a virgin case. I see this with Lapua 308 brass all the time. Virgin brass shoots teeny groups but 1x small base FL sized brass barely gives half MOA. And you can play with neck bushings all day without success. What's different? The neck hardness as well as the neck/shoulder junction. [/QUOTE]
