I'm interested in doing better. So I'm planning on doing the following:
Considering upgrading dies and/or buying an expander mandrel die. Right now I have:
Hornady Match Grade Bushing die for 6.5cm - neck tension is good but I want to run something through the neck afterwards.
RCBS for .223 - giving me .003" neck tension so I'm happy with that. I know it's working the brass more than a bushing die would but I'm not that worried about that.
Since I'm happy with neck tension in both instances, is this something I would wait on until I see the results of testing runout?
Press is an old hand-me-down RCBS RC.
The other thing I'm not doing is annealing. I have a lot of brass and I haven't gotten to 3x fired on any of it. If I'm going to do that I would probably just get an annealeez.
- Get a digital scale and weight sort my brass
- Upgrade trimmer as mine sucks - not straight and pilot sometimes scars inside of necks
