[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 223649, member: 2693"] My thoughts exactly. Which was pretty much my response. What sparked the conversation b/w the 2 of us was my comment that I have found once fired brass to be more accurate for me, even Lapua. I just proved it again for about the 100th time at the range yesterday with a 270 Ruger that sports a #1 Hart SS bbl. I began with 100 pieces of new WW cases that were wt. sorted, and prepped. The neck OD when loaded are 0.303. My die sizes them to 0.3015 w/o the expander. I found a promising load with the 110 Barnes TTSX and 58.0 H4350. The rifle shot repeatable 5/8" groups down to 3/8". I cleaned the fired brass, sized it, annealed the necks, and repeated the loads yesterday. No group was over 3/8" for 3 shot strings. Not bad for a bbl almost 26", long and skinny, not to mention a Ruger action. [/QUOTE]
