[QUOTE="Kerryt38, post: 1734394, member: 79662"] Number one is start with quality brass if you can, Peterson, Lapua, Alpha, Norma. Number 2 is anneal. I have consistently cut my SDs down by 1/3 on factory Winchester Federal and Remington brass by annealing even brand new brass. 3 make sure you have consistent shoulder pressure. You can change your velocity by over 20 FPS just by how much shoulder pressure you have. 4 Try different primers. Just because you are using match primers doesn’t mean that is the best for that particular cartridge and load combination. I have often found that standard primers work better in certain cartridge load combinations. 5 Find a good node and adjusting seating depth for accuracy can also improve your SDs. [/QUOTE]
