[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1917856, member: 17112"] [B][I][U]Performance anxiety is real...[/U][/I][/B] No comment....😐 I know you've been saying the brass is new but did you do any prep on it? Some of those flyers from the 142s seem odd to me. I've got ADG brass for my saum but I've never used it yet. I do know it's annealed. Sometimes the annealing process leaves a scale or tacky finish to the necks. May be giving you an inconsistent neck tension and bullet release causing your unexplained flyers. There are quite a few threads going now on the debate of brass prep/cleaning. Wet stainless pin vs just dry cobb vs beach stones from the shores of lake minnetonka vs steel wool outside and nylon brush inside. Everyone has their process and their reasons. The consensus to me is you need to have something in the necks acting as a dry lube. Whether it's dedicated dry lube, leftover residual carbon fouling, or tumbler media dust. I learned this the hard way when I bought a stainless wet tumbler. It works great for what I intended, which was cleaning the primer pockets without hand tools, but cleaning the necks down to bare brass was an unintended negative consequence. Easily remedied by simply tossing bank into the dry tumbler for 20 mins to reapply some dust or dipping the brass neck/bullet boat tail in some Lyman motor mica. But I do believe clean, new, or freshly annealed brass has a surface texture that isn't conducive to consistent bullet grip. Might be worth a read to see what you think. But I will say if what you've loaded with those Berger do the same thing with unexplained flyers that brass condition is your problem. [/QUOTE]
