    Interesting factoid is that i havent annealed this set of brass at all in 5 firings. They were FL resized everytime, and i did the dies up tight (i was finding it difficult to set the depth exactly)
    Things i did do this time:
    -Neck turning
    -Mandrel neck tension each firing
    -Wet tumbled each firing
    *flashholes deburred before first firing.

    Note i regularly hand my rifle to others only to watch them make tighter groups than me (sigh). Is there anyone else beginning to see trends in reloading that arent actually adding precision to the fall of shot? Are there some steps that you guys have abandoned?
    Am wondering if projectile sorting is worth looking into (bearing surface)
