[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1663327, member: 107749"] My first batch of quality brass. I usually build my own stuff mostly on a budget. I had a Remington 600 someone had set up pretty well in .308. I walked into my local country gunshop (he has an amazing array of harder to find ammo for a tiny place) and noticed two boxes of Remington 6br and bought them. I'd been enamored with 6br for years. Went home, did some research and ordered a barrel. I barreled the Remmy and ordered some Lapua brass. I'm pretty meticulous at the reloading bench but have never loaded better ammo or shot a better rifle. My extreme spreads are about 4fps! Perfect in my book and it shoots really tiny little clusters. This rifle has taught me a great deal about brass. Before, I used and reused brass, shot range pickup stuff and used odd brass to reform Wildcats. Now I pay more attention to my brass, sort it, inspect it more, weigh it, pay attention to neck tension, trim lengths etc on all my calibers. Brass makes a HUGE difference! I shoot more consistent loads with better results on target. Funny thing is, I never shot any out of the two boxes I bought that spurred me on to build the rifle. [/QUOTE]
