[QUOTE="Dannyd, post: 352626, member: 22779"] So far, in all of once fired brass that i have used the Lee trimmer has at least touched the case. This is true for my 30-30, 243 win and 7mm rem mag cases. I guess i have been fortunate with that. If i were to run into cases that did not touch the blades then i would segregate those by measurement. For now, with the equipment i have, i am looking to load good "hunting" rounds cheaper than i can buy factory. For me that means finding a load that will shoot 1MOA or better. Obviously nothing stellar but good for hunting and messing around with 400yds (max at the gun club) at the range. So far, i have been able to achieve an [B][U]average[/U][/B] of .72 from my 7mm, .84 from the 243 and 1.07 from the 30-30. Nothing great but i am meeting my objective with 2 of the 3. I just got the 30-30 dies at christmas and have worked on only a couple of loads. All of my guns are off the rack (Rem 700, Savage 10, Marlin336 respectively) with no work done on them It is obvious to me however that handloading is very addictive and lots of fun. I can already tell that down the road i will be looking at stepping up the performance on these guns. Like i mentioned though, i have a lot to learn Lever-head, I have the Speer and Lyman manuals and i have been reading them. Funny thing is i actually have to look up a lot of the terms they use in the books because i really am new to understanding firearms. I'm 47 and just learning [/QUOTE]
