Default RE: Neck turning

I have tried it....I've also done primer pocker uniforming, flash hole deburring, weighing cases and separating them, weighing powder to w/n .1 grain etc..

I believe this is a good statement for hunting rifles...

If accuracy was a foot long.....finding the right bullet is 10" of it. Finding the right powder is another inch. All the rest of the reloading things together make up the last inch.

I feel I've done quite well just doing three things...right bullet...right powder and a good work up for the good charge.

We do a serious injustice to new reloaders when there is so much press on things that are in the last inch. I read a lot about folks thinking that seating distance from the lands is going to be the "bees knees" for accuracy and they haven't even tried more than one bullet....nor have they addressed the bedding in their rifle.

Reloading for accuracy can be frustrating and also very rewarding but all the things involved in the last inch are a waste of time until the first 11" are traveled.....or in other words.....don't get sophisticated until your gun is shooting "REAL" 1.25" five shot groups and better. Besides when you get there you'll see several three shot groups in the 1/2" range and you too can join the internet group claiming you have a 1/2" gun.....
