[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 173269, member: 22"] Shawn, Your clarification makes sense. I've read a lot of your posts and your normally right on point. Thanks for the clarification. The only thing that I have had different results with from your list is with lubing the inside of the neck. I agree it gives you less variation of seating pressure which should give you better shot to shot variations. This was tested with a pressure sensor gauge on a homemade test jig. But in the end the loss of neck tension usually gave vertical that couldn't be tuned out with increased charge wgt or increased seating depth. The seating depth got to be so light that decreasing bushing diameter didn't help and if you tried to seat the bullets out further they were simply pushed back into the case. So, I stopped cleaning the inside of the necks really good with chemicals and vertical went away. I now take a dry worn out bore brush and one swipe in and out of the neck and that is it. I use to clean them to bare brass. I agree with your switching of primers. My 338 Yogi was a great example of that. Everyone told me, with that much powder you needed magnum primers to make sure you ignited the powder. I finally went out on a limb after getting vertical in my groups all the time and tried std Fed 210s and it helped the vertical a lot after bumping the load back up. Big difference. Never had any ignition problems either. Even with 95-100gr of slow burning powders. Steve [/QUOTE]
