[QUOTE="RAT807, post: 1361408, member: 33244"] The biggest accuracy problem I found with my re-barreled 264wm was with brass inconsistencies. The Nosler brass had case wall variations that not only affected neck tension but also a stiff load of powder would leave the cases bent like a banana, well, the worst cases anyway. The case weights were pretty close though. I bought 100 pieces of Winchester brass! The weight of cases went from 227 grns up to 238 grns. Case wall thickness was over .017 down to .015. I had large velocity swings, the flash holes were double punched on way too many, etc. I gave up on the whole lot. Norma brass is where I landed and only have a few cases that vary more than .001 on necks out of 80 pieces. I set my 21 Century neck turner at .0155 and use a .292 bushing. I still use some of the Nosler brass, only the best ones. The heavier Nosler cases are very close to the Norma cases so I'm loading them the same. So far it's been promising. If you get brass like some that I have, it won't matter which dies you have. That crap will not shoot consistently. I can't speak about how good Remington brass is but Norma is where I'm at! [/QUOTE]
