[QUOTE="FiatFreak, post: 2754078, member: 122976"] Thanks for the additional information you've provided. I'm very appreciative. I'll investigate the acquisition of a Hornady Headspace Comparator. Sounds cool and prudent. If I totally understand it correctly, that tool is one that measures the case length from the base to the [I]shoulder[/I], rather than the base to the case [I]mouth[/I]. I would say that I very much like your reference to the "set it and forget it" approach. I don't imagine I'll own any other rifles chambered in .243, so that would be and ideal approach (and if I did, I could just full-length resize the ammo for rifles other than my SAKO because I don't believe I'd be as fussy with those). Yes...understood. There are, indeed, LOTS of tweaks/ideas/procedures...some very sound, others not...which is all part of the pursuit! As I initially mentioned, I've been reading and studying the science of reloading for many years, and now it's time to begin the "hands-on" phase. Accuracy is a major goal, and the other is extended case life that will result in more shooting fun! That's a "win-win" for me! Thanks for your input, and for the input from everyone else thus far. God Bless! [/QUOTE]
