[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1334719, member: 97793"] 50% is a bit much for me. Shooting a Rem 40x with Win brass right out of the bag, groups run 3/4" @ 100 yards. Now do a full case prep, do the flash holes, neck turn, trim, FL bushing die, minimum shoulder set back, sort by weight. Groups will shrink to 1/2" or under. This is shooting 4 groups of 5 shots each, for an average. Where the neck turning helps me is, the unsized part of the neck, expands to the chamber. This centers the bullet in the middle of the leade. This unsized area takes about 3 firing till there is no spring back of the unsized neck area. I also shoot a Rem 600 Mohawk in 243. For years the same load would do 1/2" for one group and the next would measure 1 1/2" mostly because of 1 or 2 flyers. Doing the above made it a good average 3/4" shooter, no flyers. Will all this extra work help? Only way to know is, do you own testing. Wind flag, 36 power scope on the 40x and 18 on the 600 carbine help. Last time at 300 yards (40x) with a 68 gr and 90 br bullets, 6-5 shot groups, 3 groups measured just under 1" @ 300 yds. Conditions, little to no wind, over cast. When the wind blows and the sun comes out, i cant hit the broad side of a barn. Just wanted to see if the old gun and i, could do it. Proof that anything is possible.
