[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1905564, member: 109229"] Thanks All! Very constructive comments. This was virgin Lapua brass. I loaded 26 rounds with a 36 grain Varget charge. I do not believe that is compressed load, as I can shake them and hear the precious Varget inside. By way of brass prep, it probably wasn’t necessary but I just ran the necks through the expander button to make sure they were in round. I checked a few of them on the ball mic after that and they were pretty darned consistent at .013“, so I decided not to turn them. Neck OD was the same after this at .288 and I ended up with .002 neck tension @ .290. I was targeting a CBTO of 2.133” and pretty much got them all within .001”. The Seating die is a Redding Type S match die #36479. I checked some of those ELD-x’s too for BTO. I looked at 10 of them and they varied from .787 to .790.
