[QUOTE="freediver111, post: 1416192, member: 103433"] Well, hit the range after work yesterday and ran through the rest of the batch. Had two more FTF, and still had some issues with groups. I'd shoot 2 or 3 and get a nice group, then a flyer way high. My buddy brought some cheap Hornady ammo, American Gunner or something like that, and we had no issues getting 1" groups at 100 with those. I'm ditching the lanolin lube for sure. As much as I've read that it doesn't affect powder, it has to. I admit I didn't clean the brass as rigorously as I normally do, but I'm fairly convinced that's the culprit. I'll try the Lee lube since I have a bottle of it already. Do you avoid rubbing on/in the neck and just rub it on the case body? I also sprang for some Redding dies, Hornady comparator, and some more tools to get ogive measurements and headspace sizes down more precisely. I'll still use the Lee hand trimmer and 6.5 gauge to trim cases with my drill bit. Thats probably the only place I could eventually upgrade, but for now it works fine. [/QUOTE]
