[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 73255, member: 8"] 3sixbits With out any of the humor thrown in this time I will say you are most likely right. I am very clear in my mind what I am trying to accomplish. I am trying to learn techniques that I have shrugged off off as being unneccesary for 35+ years. I am pretty clear in my mind that the 17 needs a new barrel to shoot better but at 0.5 MOA it still does what I bought it for and I have noted that with all my "improvements" in the brass it is shooting worse at 0.7MOA. Kirby mentions in his post that this occurs sometimes. Your comment on chamber cast is exactly right and I know it. On the 17 Rem brass made by Remington, I checked every flash hole and everyone of them was larger than the tool. Your point is 100% correct that if they are too big to begin with you can not get them uniform nor smaller. On Norma 240 Wby and 7mmWby every flash hole is just slightly small.

I am just very determined that I will master the benchrest case preparation techniques. Maybe at some point in time I will figure out when to use benchrest techniques and when a set of $19.95 RCBS dies is all that the gun needs. Thanks I have to go mail in an application to shoot in a 1000yd match being as I did not look stupid enough at 500yards. [/QUOTE]
