Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors MY NEW 99R 250-3000

That makes sense if there is a noticeable difference in volume. I am one of those people who will adjust by 1/10th grain of powder and keep a chart of the most accurate load for a particular rifle ( although I admit for most applications I try to find a common denominator because of having so many chambered the same ). I haven't experienced, or maybe haven't noticed, too much of a difference between brass manufacturers. I try to stick with the same manufacturer but even when shooting mixed haven't noticed a big difference in accuracy between identical loads. Maybe this means I should pay more attention

I noticed a definite improvement in the general accuracy of my .30-06's when I lucked into a few hundred pieces of Lapua brass, compared to the Federal and W-W brass that made up my "general use" stash. That stuff has very consistent case neck thicknesses, easily on par with the LC and FA Match brass that I hoard for "special occasion" use.

I've been working with a Browning single shot .223 that averages 1/2-5/8MOA with Federal brass and Berger bullets. A batch of as yet untried Lapua .223 brass has me hopeful for even better accuracy as its case neck thicknesses are crazy consistent too, better than the Federal stuff which ain't all that bad to begin with.

The devil's in the details.

Perfect example of "other variables I might not be thinking of"

Good way to put it.

Exactly. I think my deal is, I picked up reloading from my Dad. Some things I've questioned, somethings I haven't.
