Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 2845914" data-attributes="member: 15054">I did not turn necks and do not have a concentricity gauge, I built one but my starret dial indicator was sprung too stiff internally to even move when i placed it on the case. I checked others at a cam shop and all were too stiff to measure on the small cases.I may get one one day.I did make a bullet comparator (nut type) to measure where the base to ogive is and sort bullets  like that ,, but only sorted my 69gr ones,, not the ones in the test.The extreme fliers were probably due to stiff seating forces as I had about 4 that were over the norm.I did measure some fired cases and some have an ID of .230" and others have an ID of .226.Obviously i need to order some stuff as no one seems to have things i need in stock.A pilot for my neck turner in .223 would be a good start.I turned necks on my .308 and gained nothing.. But that was with a messed up factory bore in the last 1/2" of the barrel.I eliminated pesky fliers neck turning my 30-30 cases,, That was when i was shooting 170gr cast loads. I still like those loads.I do not feel this load is a great load in my .223,, it is OK but not perfect ...But i have only been to the range about 5 times with this gun.. still working on it. Doing odd tests like this to see if I need to anneal my cases.Most all my cases are range picked up and are probably shot through an AR.. I just wanted to give them a fresh as I could restart for my bolt gun.</blockquote>
