    Do I resize new Lapua brass?

    Re: Do I resize new Lapua brass? The neck tension of new Lapua brass is too tight. Use an expander mandrel before using.

    Annealing

    Re: Annealing I used to chuck my brass in a drill and do them by hand with fairly good results. I have since gone with a Benchsource machine and never looked back. It's much faster, more precise, and gives me a consistent result every time. Clean first, anneal, then resize. I now anneal...

    Lapua Brand Brass. Worth it?

    Re: Lapua Brand Brass. Worth it? I've shot it all and Lapua is very good brass. It's the only brass I use now. Of course, RWS is the best, but hard to get. I recently gave away about 500 pieces of my other brass (LC, WIN, and Norma).

    Range Report OCW results. thoughts?

    Re: OCW results. thoughts? It's hard to get much more than just preliminary information from 3 shot groups at 100 yards. Saying that, I would go 2 tenths either side of 50.5, including 50.5, with 5 shot groups. If your quest is the best accuracy you can obtain from your rifle, you must go...

    OCW results

    Re: OCW results Accurate load development requires that you hold the exact point of aim with each shot. You aren't looking for groups. You are only looking for vertical dispersion and good ES/SD's. You are using a chrono, right?

    Range Report matched turrets

    Re: matched turrets If you didn't record the conditions, I'll need the range location or nearest town, the date, time of day, and I'll look up the historical weather records and get it.

    Range Report matched turrets

    Re: matched turrets I suppose the obvious is your velocity. What is it? Did you chrono your rounds? Are you using the G7 BC of .255? Post up your zero weather conditions and your range day conditions, if different and I'll run the numbers through my ballistic programs. I'll need: Field...

    Range Report matched turrets

    Re: matched turrets Check your scope tracking first. Set up a 4 foot target at 100 yards. Starting at the bottom, fire one shot. Using the same point of aim, Dial up 4 minutes and fire another shot. Do this until you have dialed up 40 minutes. Now, work back down to your 100 yard zero...
