[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2566489, member: 101791"] I agree with most of what you put down. Fireforming your brass, but need to be sure that the base is against the bolt face. Generally you anneal to soften the brass in the shoulder to top of neck not harden it as reloading does. (that where I don't follow). Load reduction as a starting point. Temperature stability powders. There are powders that are stable. If you are dealing with temps from -0 to +100 need to use a very stable powder. Hodgdon powders like Varget, H4350SC, H4831SC, H1000, and a couple of others. These powder I mention are hard to come by. Plus I have been a day late and a dollar short too in 2 of the powders. I quit using IMR powders in my rifles because of stability. [/QUOTE]
