Hello Deane I dont want to muddy the water too much
but at the last Fly Shoot in Brisbane i was shooting new cases that had not been fire-formed
they had been trimmed for length and very lightly neck turned to get about 80% clean up
they were not weighed into batches -- i do that after they have been fired and trimed again -
the bullets ( 123gn Lapua) were straight out of the box - and the powder thrown
the reason I shot these cases was the set of 50 cases i normally use needed resizing and shoulder
bumping -- they had become very hard to extract -- and i dont like upsetting how my rifle rides on
the bags with very tight cases -- I do know that my rifle does perform better with cases that have had
a lot more work done on them -- but they did O K on the day

Every Shot inside the Eight Ring would be GREAT
