Now that I have 3 "precision" rifles in my possession, I've been trying to refine my loading procedures for more and more accurate ammo. Don't get me wrong, the rounds I produce are quite accurate and nothing to complain about.
I currently do the following: Anneal Neck size Uniform primer pockets Deburr the flash hole Weigh cases Weigh projectiles Prime on the press (which I am told is not desirable) I am using Lee dies I don't competition shoot or anything. I shoot at 300 right now and will be moving to the 600/1000 within the next few weeks. I'm thinking neck turning is the next thing on the "to do" list Your thoughts? |

Accuracy is better than I can hold at this point. My concern is when I make the plunge to 600 and 1000 yards. The rifles are pretty much factory except for my AR10. I'm going to throw a new barrel on it here shortly.
That's my question...is my ammo going beyond my rifles at this point? |

I would say (based only on my personal experience), you will get nothing out of neck turning. If you are the limiting factor in your system, that is also likely to be true at extended distances. Have you ever fired at extended range? Your ability to read and dope the wind is the determining factor in practical accuracy at extended distance, especially if you are wanting a first shot hit. |
