Yeah man, Varget and 178's have been great. Varget around here is getting spendy though. I think a one #'er was like 69 bucks at my local vs StaBall Match at 54.
Side note, and this may be a dumb question, but I got to thinking about bumping the .002/.003 shoulder off of fire formed practice. So, should all fire formed brass, regardless of brand, reloaded, factory, etc. be the same size to the same rifle in theory? In other words, how are you benchmarking what you are subtracting from? I'd imagine an over-pressured load vs a typical factory load could/would cook off and stretch differently, or is it all the same when it comes to brass heating up and stretching out in a blink. Does one get an average of 5, or is this totally dependent on specific brass? Does this make any sense? lol
Last, what's more important to get right, the case size or OAL sneaking up on the lands? Both? Is it all "test and learn"
Where I'm coming from is I've been reloading for a little while, but it's been pretty much to SAAMI. Would like to see if this makes a meaningful difference.
