[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 996804, member: 59915"] Here is the situation. While load working my 6.5-284 I found a load that was shoot 1/4 MOA so I loaded up 20 for hunting season. A few days later I noticed that I didn't get enough shoulder bump on the brass and after adjusting the die better the load went from 1/4 MOA to just a ragged hole. So then I loaded a box of those for season. My question is, if I use a kinetic hammer to knock the bullets out of the 1/4 MOA loads, and size the brass correctly, will the bullets I knocked out shoot the same as the ragged hole loads or does loading them and knocking them out change the bullet any? I'm thinking of knocking g them out and then loading them right back after correcting the brass, but if you think they won't shoot the same I will leave them a lone. Most of the box shoots 1/4 MOA but because the shoulder did not get enough bump on that bunch of brass, sometimes one will chamber tighter and I'll get a flyer at 500-600. The flyer is usually 6" or less off of target so I can always use those for banging steel but I am low on bullets and it would be nice to salvage them into good loads if possible. Just looking for opinions here, if any of you have done this and had good results with the bullets having the exact same POI as once loaded bullets [/QUOTE]
