[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 997228, member: 81139"] I find that neck sizing with lee collet dies rather than fl sizing improves my groups. I only Fl size when the bolt tells me that my cases are getting too tight. Also, after trimming, I chamfer and Vld debur the mouth.... And then hit the mouth with some fine or super fine steel wool stuffed in a 1/2 drill bit that I chuck up to my drill. Smooths away any rough edges on the mouth inside and out. I only neck turn my 308 rounds which helps some... But I think the forster ultra seating die paired with the lee collet dies (recommended to me by some old time reloaders) is the one thing that has tightened my groups the most overall. Was tentative with my first purchase of the forster due to the cost, but didn't hesistate to lay down the money next time. The Lee collet dies are a steal and still amaze me that I wasted good money on other more expensive dies. Good luck and I'm sure others will have some good experience to share. Might have to wait a bit... as hunting season is getting into full swing (I'm leaving tomorrow), but I'm sure you'll get some good pointers. That's how I improved my groups.... Advice from posts just like yours. [/QUOTE]
