Some barrel steel is definitely better than others also.

What powders? Run H1000 for coolest burn temps, will help barrel life.
Love to know your load.
As to the topic, I have been guilty of making 50 rounds at a time for my big boomers. Good topic
If you're concerned about land erosion and fire cracking, use rl26 in something else. Retumbo and H1000 will be 50fps slower, but have better barrel life and perhaps case fill. I shoot 6.5prc case capacity is almost identical. My first 6.5x284 is shipping, scored a CA ridgeline on closeout at Cabela's for 1300$. Dies and lapua brass en route. Plan is to get it all dialed in, loads developed and give it to my nephew who's outgrown his youth model 6.5 creed.

Do you sort all your bullets? If you are looking at a .001" throat change I would assume you do but have to ask.

I absolutely sort all my bullets. It's a fun time when that box of 2000 bullets comes in.

Right up until this post you were doing good.
As said before you are taking about chasing rifling yes it's a real issue, but you probably do more damage obsessing about it than actually gaining anything.
I 100% agree on the practice aspect of your post.
I find that a properly sized case that's prepared correctly with very consistent neck tension far exceeds idea that .001" of throat growth is the cause for a re-evaluation of your load. If .001" is causing these problems for you I'm very very impressed with your marksmanship and encourage you to post everything you can as it relates to shooting guns loads ect.

Wasn't asking you! Was asking the OP.
Buying those small boxes makes it hard to find 70 winners.

If you only want an answer from one particular person do a message to them. Otherwise it is a public forum that has many people responding to answers. That's how we learn. The more answers the better...

The reason for sorting the bullets isn't for the .001 seating depth change. If my seating depth was that picky I would change to a more tollerant depth. The reason for the sorting is to help the consistency of the bc. Very slight variations show up as verticle at longer ranges. This answer is for anybody who wants to read it. Even Fred.

I'm abrasive but was sincerely posting. My encouragement to keep posting wasn't condescending.
