[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2276799, member: 116181"] 20 some odd years ago the Houston Warehouse Test put out a lot of data about brass prep and specifically how the fit between the bullet and neck is significantly more important than other variables, specifically charge weight. He challened a lot of the assumptions of the time, but I'm pretty sure if someone re-ran his tests but using modern computer-assisted measurements like AMP is doing with their annealer and press they could quantify some of his voodoo - hand seating pressure and manual annealing mainly. [URL unfurl="true"]https://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/10/18/secrets-of-the-houston-warehouse-lessons-in-extreme-rifle-accuracy/[/URL] Obviously practical hunting rounds can't be subjected to the tolerances he used, but the overall lesson of brass prep matters is key, as you just proved out again. It's an important lesson to remember, thanks for the reminder 👍 [/QUOTE]
