Default RE: get better groups

I custom reloaded some of that Turk 8mmMauser ammo also. Admittedly you have to enjoy doing the work at the bench, but the rewards are there. I never worry about the corrosive ammo, because I only fire the corrosive stuff in bolt rifles and clean up at the range, before the rifle even cools.
The absolute best that I have reloaded, in terms of milsurp ammo, was the Malaysian .223Rem. By just pulling the bullet and reducing the load 1/2gr to get each cartridge absolutely even in charge, and then reseating the bullet .020" off the lands of my rifle bore, I produced excellent varmint cartridges. The only way to make them better, was to substitute 55gr VMax for the 55gr fmj bullet. Prairie dogs explode real good, when hit with those VMax.
