[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 2145221, member: 23746"] I don’t look any anything I do as out of the ordinary. Always run the highest quality brass I can, the majority being Lapua and ADG. Make sure to be consistent with the amount of lube applied to the case during resizing as well as consistent pressure on the press handle during sizing and seating operations. Almost all the powder I throw is with a chargemaster or chargemaster light but I calibrate often. I do however always find a good powder node that is at least .4 wide and generally settle right in the middle of it. The main point I was trying to make is unless you’re consistent with your loading practices, turning necks isn’t going to save you. If you’re not consistent with the lube applied or pressure on the press handle your cases will vary .002-.003” on the shoulder bump. Same goes with bullet seating. I do run mostly bushing dies as well. I don’t weight sort brass or bullets. The majority of what I load for are hunting rifles so I’m not trying to set records. I have a buddy that is constantly turning necks and buying all the high dollar powder scales and his SD’s are all over the place. I’ve watched him load and he’s not at all consistent in his practices. [/QUOTE]
