    This was all new lapua brass, so the only treatment it got was a mandrel to straigten any bends in the mouth from shipping damage, then a very quick deburr/chamfer. I would expect that I shouldn't run into headspace issues with lapua brass? The rifle has gone through factory ammo with no issue, and this is near the end of 100 hand loads with no other issues so far.
    These were all made as a batch together with the same lot of primers/powder/projectiles/brass, all to the same COAL with a hornady seater. The load was initially worked up a few months ago when it was colder, but this was not the hotest load and is a few grains off the book highest too.
    I think I will need to invest in a good balance beam scale to keep some QC on the amount the powder scale is dropping
