[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2047917, member: 114633"] While it is possible that higher quality brass would knock down group size it isn’t a guarantee. Since accuracy is a combination of many factors. [SIZE=16px]I think you may see a difference in consistency and brass life. You may or may not see a difference in actual accuracy (at 100y) I have shot 2” groups out of premium brass- I have also shot one hole groups with the SAME brass. Brass is the framework that you build precision ammunition on. Others have already touched on the consistency of the space inside the case. The other aspect is the temper/hardness of the brass and how consistent the temper is in the brass. A lot of this plays into not just accuracy but how easy it is to make consistent ammunition. (Think neck tension) Premium brass may/or may not shrink your groups, it may however make it easier for you to get smaller groups more often without as much work. That’s why I switched from Hornady to Peterson brass. I got tired of weight sorting everything. I just get a box and load and go. Even the non fire-formed brass shoots accurate and gives single digits on SDs. About a month ago I was able to hit the 1200y target twice with loads from the non fire formed brass.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
