[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 194701, member: 5"] That hardly ever happens anymore but when and if I had one that wasn't what I wanted for long range, I'd set it aside and use it as a fouler or sighter or use it for playing. I'd note what was out of specs, neck, bullet etc., and check and make sure I didn't have a problem with any equipment or components. If the neck was out I'd mark the case and track it through the next batch of processes and see how it turned out.;) There are ways to "straighten" a loaded round that has a bullet seated out of line but I never use them. If you impose a force on something you are likely to get an opposite, and usually unwanted, action somewhere else. I don't even want my loaded rounds to get bumped or expecially, the tips to get hit, bumped etc. I'd never just push on the tip of the bullet and try to straighten it. You couldn't control it and you'd only make it worse and more than likely even add more problems than you originally had. [/QUOTE]
