[QUOTE="7stw, post: 802389, member: 22854"] Cerwin, Greyfox is dead on , on all his accounts, and his approach is spot on. The other variable, or at ANother variable, is neck thickness, and consistency at that end of the case. As for the accuracy you are getting, get used to it. ( especially with that rifle you have). Neck sizing will probably be your best bet for brass life, and accuracy too, but at some point, you will have to give the body a squeeze, and just bump the shoulder back, just a smidge, to keep the chambering reasonably snug, but not TOO snug. Find ing that sweet spot will be your homework. It's a little trial and error game, but the rewards are smoking accuracy, low ES, SD, and DRT deer. Forget federal brass, go with Winchester, or Remington brass, ( in that order, IMHO ), and better yet, fire formed Norma, 300 HH brass. THAT, is the " crem de LE crem" brass set up. That is my next project. That is a smokin set up you have there, feed it right, and it will continue to feed you for a long time!!!:D [/QUOTE]
