[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1863728, member: 63925"] The one issue that changed how I size brass was the Eureka moment when I realized that brass springback is totally inconsistent within manufacture, within specific lots and from manufacturer to manufacturer. When I switched from using the Stoney Point comparator (that's how old it is) to removing bolt shroud, with firing pin and ejector to close on a fired case without any cam over pressure is when I found out how critical the headspace measurement of the rifle itself was in relation to sizing brass. The headspace comparator is then useful to size brass to what you actually measured from your chamber. If you haven't tried this method, it can be a real eye opener on just what your chamber actually measures and not from brass that has springback all over the map in measurements. I have sorted brass based upon the "springback" measurement to see if they then can be sized more consistently and my answer is yes it appears so. Like the video says "It works for me" for the distances I tend to shoot which is not LRH by any stretch but still far enough I want to hit the 12 ring on the critter. You may not agree with everything that is posted on this site BUT what is great is that the threads should give you moments to pause and reflect on your own processes for which I thank everyone here for that opportunity to improve my reloading.
