[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2564519, member: 115819"] I get the same thing, especially when I was using Hornady Brass. It never shot bad, but it definitely likes to spring back. I'm not great a consistent lubing, and annealing would probably help too. I got 200 of another brand for my new rifle, once fired. It's premium stuff and I still had a lot of oddballs. Some of it I know was technique but some was still really spooky. The worst part was I sorted everything out into batches of .001 increments, got fed up with what I was seeing, and left it alone for "a day". two months later I finally went back and I couldn't remember which ones were which. All of a sudden the 5 piles of about 7 thou variance became one giant pile that was within a .0015 spread and about 30 percent were stragglers that were pretty close. I have pretty good feel for the calipers, so I swear some had shrunk and many had grown up to .001. At that point I decided i didn't have the experience to ge tto the bottom of it and put them all in the same bag. But like the man said pick the best quarter of the lot and test on those, then CHOOT IT!!! [/QUOTE]
