[QUOTE="pdq5oh, post: 1375933, member: 69910"] In my search for long range accuracy l've tried many different things. I neck sized for a time and got tired of the hard bolt close and heavy bolt lift after a couple firings. I now full length size every firing. I took a case that fit my chamber tightly and slowly bumped the shoulder back until the bolt closed easily. At that point l locked the die down. All brass is annealed after every firing. The expander ball in my die was carefully polished until l got .002 neck tension. Powder charges are weighed to a tolerance of .04 grain. Bullets are seated within a .0015" tolerance measured base to ogive. Brass is trimmed and mouths deburred and chamfered every firing. Standard deviation runs 4-6 fps with my reloads. I've achieved 1/4-1/2 MOA accuracy and shoot out to 1 mile. I don't weight sort brass as l found no appreciable increase in accuracy for what l do. My thing is long range steel plates. I think very good results can be had by paying attention to details and keeping good notes on what works and on what doesn't. [/QUOTE]
