[QUOTE="drumjunky91, post: 2791753, member: 121049"] For the 43rd time now, yes, I was overpressure. That was never the question here, but thank you. The question is about truing up headstamps on case that are still very much so usable, i.e. no loose primer pockets, no stretching in the web area, primer didn't explode out of the case and my bolt didn't sink 8 inches into my skull. The question being: Would a small raised ejector mark cause larger group sizes, and if so, how are people correcting headstamps on GOOD cases. Not blown out, run-ragged brass. ADG brass has a pretty soft headstamp and is notorious for leaving ejector prints in 28 Nosler brass on even the mildest of loads. Ones that are well below book max, quickload and GRT as well. Low chrono speeds to boot. If I threw out every piece of brass that my 28 left a small imprint on, then I had better take stock in brass because I'd have to shoot virgin brass strictly. This is across 3 different 28's that I know of personally, handloads and factory ammo. And forget Nosler brass. Might as well wrap some powder up in aluminum foil and stuff a bullet in to it.
