[QUOTE="Beautiful Mulberry, post: 3973185, member: 52520"] before I purchased the lapua brass i used Winchester and federal. I have noticed a big difference. Seemed like Winchester and federal cases were a little softer? (May be me) seemed like i was always trimming The cases. this also bring back to you saying you annealed the brass. I have never done that. i do not have the equipment. This may be the problem i ran into. My lapua cases have been fired 5-6 times and are still strong. Is there a place i can send my brass to get annealed? I do have a lot of equipment. Turning the case necks… all i have is calipers, a rock chucker partner press and rcbs digital scale. My dies are standard rcbs FL. I full length resize every time. I have tried neck sizing and shoulder bumping, i did not notice a difference. Well, the way i have done it. for the shoulder bumping i used my FL die with a case in the press, ram up, screw down die till i hit the casing, lowered ram screw die down a quarter of a hair, measure case by putting a factory sized 9mm case on top of my 308 case neck, lift case into die, pull case out measure case again with the 9mm case attached to the 308, repeat process until desired length. Not sure if this all made sense. my friend says i have poor man’s accuracy because I don’t have all the good tools. my grandpa taught my when i was young how to do this. If it does make sense ill try and explain it a little betTer. There were 2 men i have learned most of my skills from. 1 my grandpa, 2 a man by name of Mr Fry. They called him preacher fry.
