Is there a way to tighten up velocity, ES, & SD?

[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1336292, member: 20438"] With ES of 50 I would try other primers first. If that doesn't work I would start with some of the other suggestions mentioned above starting with case capacity. Have not used Federal brass for years so I am not sure of the quality - meaning consistent case capacity. Two cases with different case capacity will give different velocities if you are not in a "true" powder node. Also, I would be careful when it comes to the inside of your case neck. I would only brush them in the cleaning process and leave them alone. They can actually be too clean and almost stick and not allow a smooth bullet release. This can often be seen in seating depth force. If bullets are harder to seat than normal they are too clean. Annealing is easy to do wrong so be careful there. [/QUOTE]
