[QUOTE="Blade1, post: 1180317, member: 86844"] Ive read that. Good article. Guys the bathroom scales work. Weather its the exact measurement or not. After i shot a tite group i took a round and check to see how many pds. It took to make the bullet move. It was a 100. I reload and it took 80 and had the same group. I reloaded again and had 60. The group opened up. It got worse from there. I annealed i only had 40 lbs. I took a hammer to the cases. I grabbed 3 new cases uniformed them. Adjust the die to give 100lbs resistance and the group tightened back up. As long as i stay around 80 to a 100 lbs of resistance my groups stay consistant. It showed me what kind of resistance i should be feeling when seating a bullet if neck tension is right. My measured neck tension with every load while experimenting stayed the same. I could feel the difference when seating the bullets each time. It may not be the best way but it will give you an idea of where you need to be. Its save me alot of wasted ammo. [/QUOTE]
