Improving factory ammunition

[gyt]

Can I improve the accuracy of factory ammunition by taking the bullet out ,re measure accurately the weigh of the gun powder and then put the bullet back with reloading press?
Will this procedure improve the run out of the bullet? Will I have to use Full Length Sizing Die?, Collet Die which size the neck?,Dead Length Bullet Seating Die?.
Will Lee Classic Cast Breech Lock Press be a good tool for that?
. Thank you for your help

Mexican Match. I doubt anyone does it anymore. FWIW, I've pulled bullets with a collet puller, remeasured the charge and re-seat the bullet using the collet puller. Works fine for adjusting a charge on a few rounds, but I wouldn't want to do a bunch. You will probably want to size the neck again.

I'd just shoot it as-is.

If you're gonna go through all that trouble for a minimal gain (big picture tightening up consistency) I would just start hand loading from scratch and be done with it.

So basically you want to load your own ammo but with the upcharge of factory pricing. Why.

Shoot it and collect your fire formed brass.

The Problem is that it is forbidden to reload here, and factory ammo is not accurate enough.

Forbidden to reload? What cartridge are you shooting and what factory ammo is available to you? If you have to re-assemble factory ammo, make sure you know that the powder you're pulling is all the same. I would assume same lot number of new manufactured ammo will all have the same powder, but that may not be the case.

If I knew for fact I was dealing with the same powder, I would pull, dump the powder and neck size prior to re-seating the bullets. I would probably want to use a bushing neck die or standard neck die with the expander removed and lube only applied to the outside of the neck. Then set neck tension with a carbide mandrel with no lube in the necks.

^ everything you listed pretty much is forbidden mtncreek lol.

i want to know where the OP is at and why it's forbidden to reload. If it's forbidden he shouldn't have access to dies

Really the only thing you could gain is by tweaking factory bullet seating depth specific to your rifle, which you could do with a press mounted bullet puller, pull bullets part way out, and reseat with a seater die to desired overall length. The powder charge I would not bother with..

I am just curious, so reloading in Israel is illegal but you can still get dies? So is it ok to remanufacture ammo, or is it a matter of military cartridges that are forbidden? I mean yes, you could spend lots of time making some premium Mexican match ammo. Weight sorting, turning necks, etc, but is there a line between manufacturing and reloading? Can you get new primers?
