[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1390623, member: 104268"] Good to know. Info like this is why I signed up. Should have done it a couple years ago. Turns out, I'm not ready to "load up 250 and call it good". Got my concentricity gauge today. Just ran a dozen loads over it. Was really pleased for a second, as the first two came out at about 0.001" TIR. Then...0.006" came along. Out of 11, 6 were great ≥0.0015", and 5 were over 0.004". Looks like I need to do a bit of work on my setup before I sit down for the long haul. I might have a chance to do a test on these loads, and see if the batch of wobbly ones shoots a bad group. Perhaps I'll throw all the variables into a couple groups (e.g. variable necks, weights, and bad concentricity) and eliminate them all for a couple groups worth, and see if there's a big difference. Either way, I'm going to make an effort to get everything down below 2 or 3 thousands TIR before I proceed. Sigh...Just when I thought I was done. Should have never bought the concentricity gauge...Guess I should just be glad I'm not a good enough shooter to see all the other variables... ;) [/QUOTE]
