[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2164264, member: 10755"] Bit late to the party, but I see only ONE other person mention this. On ALL new brass, I run them through my neck die/mandrel to ENSURE ALL have the same neck tension and I lube the necks with GRAPHITE. If you are not doing this you need to start doing it. The difference in UNIFORM & REPEATABLE neck tension is night and day. I have always found neck tension on new brass, no matter what brand, is always NOT what I want. Brass like Remington brand 22-250 brass requires annealing, however the same brass in 25-06 does not... go figure. Lapua brass is exceptional in quality and consistency batch to batch, so is Norma, yet they are definitely not the same. My process is the same as Memtb, the only difference is I measure case volume. I also load by volume in CC’s rather than a powder weight. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
