[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1368354, member: 101755"] I need to go back and read the article about the Houston Warehouse. IIRC he stated consistent neck tension was the key to .125 groups, but I also think...I think...he said more than normal...the industry standard was better. But it had to be consistent. nkyshooter I had another guy here tell me that putting a crimp on the bullet was the key to success on one bullet he was shooting in a .25 caliber rifle. My thoughts are the crimp increases neck tension...and improves ES 6.5x55...the mother of all 6.5...the main reason it's not in my list of possible chamberings is brass. I traded for some military brass and cant pop the primers out. The flash hole is too small for the decap pin...nearly broke my decap pin trying to punch out a primer. I finally got a couple out and found that to be the issue. [/QUOTE]
