Do you dedicate when you load?Originally Posted by nf1e

Define dedicate.
If you mean for a specific rifle, no.

I learned to reload back in the day from a local lawyer who went to Perry every year shooting his .45acp. He said that accuracy occurs when all your "mistakes" are the same. I am getting ready to load 15/m 5.56 M193 with WC844 and WC846. I start with once fired mixed brass which I:
deprime, tumble wash, swage, resize to minimum, trim to minimum, VLD chamfer, trim flash hole of any punched brass to create a uniform flash point. Now comes the fun part where I segregate first by headstamp, then using a bell curve to weight.
I load in lots of 1/m to maintain consistency and I buy my components accordingly.

Got out in the rain this morning for a final test of my load for Starline .223 brass. 73 gn Berger bullet over 23 gn of Varget set off with BR-4 primers. Decided that this really needs a dozen shots to settle down in a clean barrel. First 4 shots started out just under an inch to the left and as things warmed up they moved right into the X.
Now, with the rain I can go down into the shop and load the 250 new cases that I have primed. Whatta Hobby!
