[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2845228, member: 109862"] More details please! What cartridge and what projectile? It’s also of note that I stopped trying to kiss the lands a long time ago, avoids all manner of potential problems in the field I’ve found. Same with neck-only resizing. I don’t always just load to factory coal, there’s sometimes a real benefit from seating longer and I have no problem with it. But if it’s in a rifle that has any use other than paper punching (and i don’t shoot competitively at all) I full length resize and i don’t get so close to the lands that minor ogive variance or other intrinsic variables will be made manifest in a bad way Full reliability is my number one priority. Then performance. Then accuracy. That’s not to say I have no accuracy standards but for the hunting I do I’d rather have a .75 inch group with full horsepower out of a cartridge that feeds, chambers, and extracts like butter with no resistance and no risk of problems even if it gets roughed up a bit in the truck or the hike than a .3 inch group going 200 fps slower in a cartridge that’s “finicky”.
