[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 2053148, member: 79865"] With the 284, I bought 400 Winchester cases and managed to get 100 of those within a 1gr weight spread after neck turning and removing nasty burrs in the flash holes; the total weight range for 400 cases was over 7gr. I bought 200 Norma cases when they became available and had a total weight range of 1.4gr and 100 with less than a .5gr spread. 200 of the Norma cases cost about the same as 400 Winchester cases. With the 7mm-08, the spread for the PPU cases was about the same as the 50 Norma cases I have for it. As for annealing, I put together a salt bath annnealer using a Lee lead pot and a PID that I got off of Amazon. It holds 500 +-2 Celsius all day long, and does a nice even job of it. 223AI cases get a 4 second dip to just past the shoulder, the 284 cases get 7 seconds dipped just past the shoulder. I know I'm not heating the base too much because I am working with bare fingers... [/QUOTE]
