lots of theories Dan, I found it easiest just to use an old barrel, unless your trying to save bullets?

I have some used ppc brass that I will not be using to give away,it is lapua, originally cut for a 269 neck to 11.8,some has been fired as little as twice,some a little more and some a lot, it all got mixed together,there are about 300 pieces.if anyone is interested let me know and I will get an actual piece count, if not its headed for the trash
thanks

Great job Rick,good to see the hard work is paying off this year

Thanks Joe, really need to give credit to Rick for all his help and coaching.hes really helping with the learning curve and keeps me focused on the right things. Every one has been very helpfully and forthcoming with info and advice , it's really been a pleasure shooting with and learning from them. Looking forward to continuing the Process . As for this weekend just got lucky and things fell into place.the gun was shooting  really good on Saturday, all I had to do was pull the trigger and the shots were going where they were supposed to . Today started ok but the day got hot and conditions got tricky. I think the gun was going out of tune a little  and my lack of experience was starting to show. Rick was closing fast ! ( good thing we ran out of targets) . Had a lot of fun. Now I need to practice shooting in the wind so I don't get beat up to bad in Phoenix.
