[QUOTE="Joseph Wales, post: 1913103, member: 112417"] I was tempted and bought (cheap) once fired .260 Rem brass. Consistency was difficult to achieve, also with new Hornady brass I had similar issues. Went to Lapua and Starline Brass, no more run out issues and better groups and numbers. I bought a 21st Century case turning lathe. With a little extra TLC the Rem and H Brass now shoot as well as Lapua. Last trip to the range I had an SD of 2.1 and an ES of 5 on H Brass at a particular charge weight of Vihtavuori N555. I only knock off the high spots when I turn. I also anneal and a few others things like controlling neck tension and shoulder bumping. I sort and segregate by weight. I was challenged to determine if cheaper brass could reach levels of performance of Lapua. The answer is YES! Best SD to date with mostly untouched Lapua Brass was a 4.6. I had to stop using any Berger bullets both VLD's and Hybrids in the Sako TRG-22. Could not get decent groups and numbers. Hornady 130 ELDM's have worked the best so far in my Sako Barrel with the VV N555. [/QUOTE]
