[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3591799, member: 15054"] I read a lot and I hear some say this works or this does not work or you can only reload a case so many times. Or you can't use this powder or that load but I see it printed in books from the 60's I then set out on my own and do my own testing and I try not to leave many stones unturned. I just prepped 8 Lapua cases from the same batch. I measured neck ID and OD after prep and measured Neck Ogive distance from the base and kept 5 of the 8 for target work. 3 that did not make it. But in reality I can't sit on a tree limb for 2 hours with wind in my face and bugs eating on me and a swaying tree to see any difference in hits on a critters to really need to prep or sort brass like I do. But there are those calm days where I lay prone on a sandy spot and get to take a sniper shot. That is when it pays off. You will also find some cases may measure the same but they do not act the same no matter what you do. Start keeping the way out flier cases to the side and when you reload those mark them and see if they are still fliers or if they come into the group. If you get 2 fliers from that case you may need to expect another flier from it unless you fubared it somehow. [/QUOTE]
