In your experience how important is new brass prep. Particularly 300 win mag and Winchester brass. The rifle is a long range precious build. Will I ever see great consistent accuracy without volume sorting, neck turning, on this less than perfect brass?
What I do now is debur the flash hole and run it through a Lee collet die when new just to be sure the necks are sized consistently.
Here's my process after firing.
1. Push out primers
2. Clean in stainless steel and soap for 1.5 hr, rinse
3. Dry brass
4. Anneal (usually every 3 firings)
5. Bump shoulder .002 and size body
6. Size neck .002" neck tension
7. trim
8. Clean again for 30 min. Rinse
9. Dry
This is what I do but I don't know if I'm doing enough for the consistency I'm looking for. I've never weighed out cases by their volume or turned necks. Should I be doing this or anything else? Or should I be using a higher end brass? Accuracy needed is under .5" thanks in advance
