[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2355991, member: 74061"] With the current crunch in components I hate to burn all that powder and bullets just to get fired brass. Why not experiment with fine tuning your COAL. I’d run all the brass with a .002 under mandrel to make sure the necks are straight, then pick a powder/charge and seat bullets starting near the lands and shoot groups of 3 to 5 shortening them by 6 to 10 thou each group. You might learn the sweet spot for COAL and you can refine the charge weight with 1x fired brass. I recently tried it setting up a new brass/bullet combo in very old 222 bull barrel varmint rifle that has been in the back of the safe for over 30 years. I tossed the old frontier brass and bought a box of Lapua and the Sierra BlitzKing and was happy with the results. I still had to fine tune to get to the center of the node but I was very close.
