Same bullet, same brass, same powder, same everything. My fireformed loads made a substantially bigger group at 175 (my zero for this cartridge) than the fireforming loads did. Why, for heaven's sake? The fireforming loads gave me 75% neck splits. Why, when the other box never split a neck at all?<br /><br />(Grumble, grumble...)<br /><br />I guess I will look into annealing brass now...Paul Bonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279129269584372919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-84563761970857778632015-07-30T22:22:20.959-07:002015-07-30T22:22:20.959-07:00Thanks Mama.

I do try to allow for plenty of "don't expect what you used to be able to do", but sheesh, there are limits. :-)Kevin Wilmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368887768008126052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-47918716594841629962015-07-30T10:17:41.730-07:002015-07-30T10:17:41.730-07:00Perfectionism is quite often frustrating. :) I fin...Perfectionism is quite often frustrating. :) I finally gave it up myself. <br /><br />Good hunting!!MamaLibertyhttp://www.thepriceofliberty.orgnoreply@blogger.com
