[QUOTE="brant89, post: 971776, member: 49553"] I check my scale for consistency on a pretty regular basis, if not religiously. I never sorted brass, shaped the flash holes, checked concentricity, or neck turned my brass simply because I never needed to with my .223 to get the 1/2 MOA accuracy that I wanted. I have recently been wondering about concentricity though because I did notice uneven marking when seating to the lands and I'm not sure if it is due to runout in my loads or if the throat was poorly cut. I have been setting up my FL dies to only bump the shoulder and chamber without excessive force but no more. Should this process yield 1/2MOA results or did I get lucky with my 223? I did try the lead sled once but didn't notice a very significant improvement but it might be worth taking a second look at. And unfortunately I think flying to Idaho is out of the question for me for a while since the wife and I are house hunting. Also, I'm certainly not bragging about my 1/2 MOA groups with my 223 as I'm sure most of the people on here would make me look pretty silly at the range. The only reason I bring up the 223 so much is that is the rifle I have had the most experience with and I have always been satisfied with how well it shoots so it is really the only baseline that I have to compare to.
