[QUOTE="herbeapuce, post: 770381, member: 3157"] Hi. I'm not doing to good with my reloads... I am also fairly new to this addiction ;-) maybe some of you more experimented reloaders here could share with me and others what really made the big difference in their ammo .... what would you say was the most important thing you did to your reloads (not to your rifle plz) to help your grouping things that come in mind: getting better cases weighting the case neck turning the case neck sizing only ( obviously) interior neck reaming neck tension primer choice more accurate scale better dies better seating die playing with OAL crimping polishing the chamfer deburing primer hole etc etc etc what single action did you do to your ammo that evening to get that big smile on your face at the range that day , when you finally realized what was it you were doing wrong or omitting ? I am not looking for being a F class champion, I just want to feel good about my reloads and have a close to .5 inch group with my tikka t3 varmint in 25-06. At this time I have only reloaded about 200 shells in various powders , OAL, primers, bullets; and I get a lot of flyers... on a group of 5 , I often get 1 or 2 holes touching, but then the flyers... I end up at 1" to 2".... thanks for your time and knowledge. stef [/QUOTE]
