My question is this: Do straightened cartridges shoot as accurately as those that need no straightening? My shooting ability (or that of the rifle) can’t discern a concistent answer. What say you?
You just answered your own question.....
further.....you didn't ask.....unless you have a benchrest quality rifle, the entire process you mentioned is a waste of time.
I disagree. I load for several different sporters that very well show the difference between .008" and .002" runout cartridges.
I have too. I generally shoot for .003" TIR or less, because of this. Generally my dies get me in that ballpark without all the hassle the OP states he has to go through..
