[QUOTE="Comancheria, post: 1644552, member: 110141"] Thanks for all your considered replies, Gentlemen. First a little bit of the back story: I have actually reloaded before—primarily during the 70s and 80s—creating pretty ordinary fodder for an AR-15 and some hunting rifles which I never shot beyond 200 yards. Everything worked. At the time, I was generally aware of more precise processes. As I prepared for retirement, I stocked up on a really good and complete reloading setup. Fast forward to the great Ammo and Component shortages attendant upon a certain previous political situation—Remington was about all I could get. (Also stocked up on RL22 and 25–together with all of its temperature sensitivity ) So yeah—I do understand what all of you are saying. Lapua would be nice, but they don’t make cases for either of my two calibers. That’s where I hope the Berger Win Mag 215 and 230 grain loaded Ammo I am stocking up on will come in—1: if the bullets work in my barrel, more’s the better—and whether or not they do, I will have 300 presumably premium cases with which to work. (Norma? Nosler?—of course, Berger ain’t talkin’!) Meantime, my best (and expensive) hope is for Berger to grow their loaded product line to include .300 RUM. Wouldn’t 230 grain OTMs be nice! I did a little more research and here is what I am thinking as to my original question: Resize both new and fired brass—even though the new stuff is highly unlikely to even touch the sides of the dies. Then use the Concentricity Gauge to measure runout on the case necks—abandoning any cases over say, .001 of runout. [/QUOTE]
