[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2622537, member: 101791"] I set up and determine what the case length is going to be. After each firing. I clear up my cases, anneal, size, and re-set the length. That being a Gen-3 for cutting the case length. That way they are all the same length all the time. This changes I make this last year. I done a lot of reading about case length. Better to have them all the same length all the time. All the case prep helps in getting better loads. More constant loads. It all goes back to what you want out of your reloads. Under 500 yds it probable doesn't make that much difference. There is so much here at Long Range Hunting to read about and go over and over. 🤣 I did fine for years, but I held my shots to about 500yds. Let my scope tell me what the range was. I knew my rifle and what it would do. I didn't use a range finder until I change to a bow. There you better know what it really is. A few yards can make a big different. I have a wildcat rifle that I am going to the field next year for P. dogs. I am looking ranges of 600 to 800 yards. probable not shoot under 400 yds. It wouldn't be fair. I'll have a grandson to do the close work. 😍 [/QUOTE]
