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
