[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 31602, member: 2112"] Thanks for the replies guys!! VH, Last night I sized and then trimmed some brass down to 2.840". The next step would be to turn the necks. I bought a neck turner by RCBS that goes on the trim pro trimmer. I seen where you said you trim to where you see 75% of trimming done. Can you elaborate on this some? I have never turned necks nor seen it done. So this is a new adventure for me. Does anyone know of a good link on how to turn necks? My purpose of this is to try to push my current STW to its accuracy limits. I have the Sako TRG-S. It shoots really well as it is but I feel it could do even better. I just had a KDF brake put on it and that should help me shoot my best as well. My goal is MOA to 400 yards. The bullets I am trying are the Lazzeroni Lazzerheads which are 120 gr version of the Barnes TSX that is coated as well and the other bullet is the 127gr Groove Bullet. The Grooves shoot excellent in my .243 Win.. Groups hang at around .62" @100 and with the new scope on it I think I can do mouse ears with it. Too cold though so I am waiting till spring to really get after it. Ohhh what powders have you found to respond well to the STW? I have been running H-1000 with the 140 gr Ballistic tips. I have RL 22 and 19 in my possesion and have thought about trying RL 25 as well. Any others you would suggest? [/QUOTE]
