[QUOTE="misterc01, post: 1804226, member: 109160"] IMHO the case prep is critical. Goal: consistent as possible cases. I start with fire-formed cases and go from there. Given you have consistent cases, consistent powder throw, consistent seating at the depth YOUR rife likes for EACH bullet you fire is predictable.. So, I measure my cases, trim or turn to get them consistent and so on and I neck size. I finish with a Hornady concentricity gauge, straighten as necessary to no more than .002 concentricity, most end up pretty much dead on. I use a 14-step checklist with 43 sub-steps for my ammo prep. I follow it EVERY TIME, checking each step off before proceeding to the next. So I can make sure I have covered everything. And as I learn more, it gets longer. And each step stacks on the ones before, so anything off at any steps will affect the final round. So the goal is as consistent "as possible." [/QUOTE]
