[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2410848, member: 101791"] Screwed brass when annealing isn't the first time, and won't be the last either. I would look at getting a balance beam scale. Primers are hard to come by presently. Mixed brass doesn't help. There are problems in the reloading set up. Not bad, but not great either. There is a lot to clean up on brass care, but that may not be all of it. Question: How are your rifle set up. Action bedded? Barrel floated? Correct tension with mounting screws with action and stock? What's your trigger pull lbs. A heavy trigger pull doesn't help a bit. Reload Question or things that need to be looked at, and help: Flash hole deburring, Case length all the same not longer or shorter (All one length) Annealing to set neck tension. Cases from the same lot. Depending on how deep you want to get into reloading: Trim your neck thickness to be all the same. Necks are not even all the way around. Checking your case volume by weight. Not weighting the brass. It will help some, but not the answer. It's a combination of all to get where you want to be. I might add, be careful on exchanging primers. Some are hotter than others, but primers can change things on how your powder burns. I would take ButterBean first step to start with. [/QUOTE]
