[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 1027143, member: 66495"] Thank you for your response. I guess I should have included what type of shooting I do in my first post, to give a better idea of what I'm trying to accomplish. I mainly shoot 600 yards or less, but I am going to start shooting out to 1000 yards here very shortly. I like to target practice and hunt with my rifles (deer, elk, and coyotes). I'm considering getting into some competetive shooting in the future as well. Anyways........ Thanks for the tips on the brass. I know this is something I need to do, but haven't quite got to with the shortage of reloading supplies as of late. Now that I have two very accurate rounds (one for my .243, and one for my 7mm), I guess I need to go ahead and scrap all of my brass and start over with some brand new brass. That way I know it's from the same lot, and so I can keep track of each piece from new. So a quick question about weighing the brass. How close does the brass have to be within the other pieces to be considered good or scrap? As far as a comparator for measuring the cases, I couldn't agree more with you on this. I want to buy one. What would you recommend, without breaking the bank? As far a case lube goes, I really like the one shot. I spray it on pretty heavily and rub it into the case with my fingers until the case feels dry. I then resize the brass, and it's a silky smooth. I've never got one stuck in the die. I've never heard of cleaning the lube off the brass though. I'll have to start doing that. You're probably right about the second cleaning. I'll start doing a better cleaning on the first go around, and then skip the second cleaning. I like the theory behind the graphite idea. I'll have to experiment with that. Does it cause any fouling, or anything you need to think about when cleaning the barrel. Which brings up another thing. How often should I clean my barrel? Thanks again for the response! [/QUOTE]
