He's right in a way. If you start with a good brand brass the neck thickness hopefully is fairly good, and probably doesn't make too much difference. Also if he Chuck's his brass after 2 or 3 shots...

If I was you I would be annealing first. Get the neck tention the same every shot. Check run-out of fired cases and after sizing. (The neck) In saying that a factory load in a factory rifle can do...

I anneal everything now, and have to neck turn for some rifles due to tight neck chambers, and/or im necking brass up to a larger dia (which requires neck turning afterwards to remove the thinker...

+1 for annealing, if you're not doing this already then its likely to give you the best gains. You don't need flash gear, but of course you can go that track if you want. There's also a guy on...

mimms I ran some quickload data which should demonstrate this point fairly well. First up we have a "normal" .308 load. Its a 165gr btsp in front of 45gr ar2208. Its got 104% case fill capacity, so...

Lol. If you want ultimate consistency then you want to minimize variables, and powder being able to slosh around in the case is just another variable. Im not talking about the powder failing to...

All that is for the last 5% If you do all that on a piece of shit rifle, you still got a piece of shit rifle. If you have a well sorted action, bedded, chambered/reamed with care, done all you can...

I've always had good luck with 40-41 grains of 2208 behind a 180 FMJ. always work up though.

If there is lots of space left in the case it can cause inconsistent ignition. Picture a case only half full of powder. Depending on the angle of the rifle/cartridge, all the powder within the case...

With those I use 37grs 2206h and just tried 2208 40.5grs, which I'm changing over to, softer shooting. 2209 didn't work for me. P14 too.

Quite true my load for my Tikka in 6.5 x 55 is full, can't hear the powder, but I use a slow burning powder and it has a stronger action.

define "lots of room left" from my understanding of things the fuller the better to be sure BUT above say 70% is pretty normal and fine...IF you get less than 50-60% fill you can get flame from...
