I like your idea about the brass. I usually do swage them all. It adds another step but it's quick. I have been told about the ball powder advantage. I also just purchased one of these for my Lee Powder drop. Maybe this along with ball powder and consistent brass will do it...

Lance you are correct about the head stamps. I got a deal on used brass from one of the local ranges. There must be 5-6 different stamps. I am going to try my tickler and also may need to pony up and get my own specific brass that I run through the Tikka. The barrel is 22.4" The guys I hunt...

Hello to all. I have been reading and learning on this forum for several months but never posted. I haven't done a lot of long range shooting like many of the guys here. Shot a deer at 325 yds with my 7mm and have sniped quite a few prairie dogs with my Tikka 223 and also used my AR 15 in 224...
