6.5 Creedmoor

Most people just reload to control all aspects of accuracy and hand select components. Sounds like you're doing things the hard way for little to no benefit.
control all aspects of accuracy ?? humm .
do good lots, that is to say lots that are much closer to the same dimensions from one to another lot number ,do anything for you? just by chance I found two different lot numbers that are over 20 thousands different . Would I quibblo about 5 thousands difference or would I just show you's that these two lot numbers are only off by 5 thousands difference .

I can appreciate the fact that if nobody knows what you're doing they can't say you're doing it wrong. You say .020" but .020" of what? OAL? What about all the other influential variables like charge weight by tenths of a grain, neck tension, distance to lands, flash hole uniformity and so on. Hand loading my COAL is usually within .0015". Maybe it's just me but breaking down factory ammo to fine tune charge weight just doesn't seem worthwhile. Hornady 140 match had a SD of 11 in my gun and I can't imagine doing better by taking them apart before hand.
