[QUOTE="340PR, post: 1854293, member: 107814"] A lot of good sound practices listed above. Consistency is also mentioned. I strive for that with a capital C: New (quality) brass is sorted into weight classes, flash holes deburred, pockets uniformed. After fire form; anneal, trim, scrape carbon from pocket, brush inside of neck. I do all cases the same after every firing, all in the name of consistency.. Before I started following these practices, my average ES was 22. since, it is 13. For me, that is a big deal. I am currently identifying "anomaly" cases with very high or low velocity (often, but not always show as "fliers") and segregating them. This a work in progress, but so far, my ES has come down an additional 4 fps on average. Full disclosure, I address all aspects of loading and shooting with the same degree of obsession (insanity), but it works for me. Doing so eliminates as many variables as possible, leaving the shooter solely responsible for results.. [/QUOTE]
