[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3563024, member: 15054"] Lapua cases never allowed me to get into an upper accuracy node. You should shoot your steel cased ammo at 100 and 300 yards on paper and I am sure you have and recorded the drops at that distance. Now take that Lapua load and test it for drop at 300 yards. You may end up like me and stop trying to find the upper node with Lapua cases and go with Federal or Winchester or Remington cases. Lets say every time you go out you get an anomaly flier in the group you shoot. I have eliminated those with annealing cases every time before sizing and neck brushing before bullet seating. In some of my Bolt guns the Lapua cases are way to thick in the neck and I must neck turn them. In my .243 the neck ID of the fired Lapua case measures .243". Too tight. [/QUOTE]
