I annealed my Virgin brass and put some graphite on the inside of the neck before sizing it and loading it last night with my cheapo Lee die. I usually don't do that with Virgin brass, and I can't remember if I did that with my Virgin 6.5 CM starline brass, but I don't think I did. There was still up to 0.002 run out on the case neck after sizing, but the loaded bullet runout wasn't anymore than 0.004-0.005, so it was much better for my ocd.I had to drop 2 thou off the bushing I was using for lapua. Ended up using a .266 if I remember right.
However, I don't think it matters.
About 50 shots through it today just trying to get it stabilized before finding a load for hunting in October. The left/right stringing is shooter error too. Had a pretty poor rest and was shooting quickly as I could.
I did get my forster die in the mail today. Man is it a big difference from from Lee dies. I sized one fired case and it was smooth as butter and had immeasurable runout after sizing. I'm looking forward to using it more.
