[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2333476, member: 30309"] I'm not going to knock your process, swampratt. If those are the steps that allow you to gain the confidence for very long shots, go for it. Personally, I don't see the need for the (IMHO) overzealous brushing of the case necks and multi-step seating of the bullet and run out check for sub 600 yard shooting. However, if it makes you feel better about the quality of ammo you are making, I see no reason to stop. It's important to understand that regardless of the quality of the ammo, if you're not loading ammo using what you have determined to be the best powder, brass, primer and bullet combination for a specific rifle platform on TOP of the process you mention, you are most likely wasting your time doing all the extra steps. Then there's the platform you choose to shoot from. As revived eluded to, most inaccuracies at lower yardages (sub 500) can be attributed to the shooter, not the platform and certainly not the ammo. I'm not raining on your parade, just realize that chances are ammo made on a progressive that has been properly set up, using brass that has properly been batch cleaned, would most likely yield ammunition that is just as accurate as what you're making. and yes I can get sub MOA (2" at 200 yards) from ammo loaded on my Lee turret press at 200 yards. The secret is knowing what combination my rifle likes, and having a high quality platform to shoot from and the right caliber to shoot with. Once you start shooting out past 800 yards, the conversation changes. [/QUOTE]
