[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1166916, member: 48043"] Two things Bart is VERY correct on, you can and often will have trouble with accuracy trying to save a bit of brass life with a belted case by neck sizing... I've gone to fl sizing all my belted stuff; no neck or partial fl sizing for me anymore. I've seen two to one accuracy spreads at times between the two. Also, shoot larger shot count groups to prove a load actually shoots and you aren't just getting a screamer group once in a while. I'm starting to go to ten shot groups at 200+ yards (and a few of them) before I count a load as good. Picking the guy apart is serving no one any purpose here. As to the o.p.'s question on 30 cal... get into a 300win or 300rum, get a decent amount of brass, and forget the rest. If you need more than a 300rum, a serious step up on caliber is warranted.
