I don't do much target shooting and when I do its not chasing a golden bullet..I do hunt and my accuracy criteria is all about putting an animal on the ground under 300m and mostly under 100m. I don't buy new, single lot, Alpha, Lapua or any other brand new brass. Nearly all my brass across my various calibres is at least fired once except for the occasional pkt of new Starline brass I've bought because that was all I could get. I don't often miss a kill these days but I do have mediocre range scores. 99% of those would give me a kill in the field. I have a lot of fun and enjoy reloading. I uniform flash holes once, always FL size except 303B, always clean, trim brass about every 3rd time, chamfer and polish case mouth when trimming. I never neck turn, I anneal every 2nd firing, and always clean the primer pocket. I leave the expander button on the depriming rod but thinking of doing without it. I sort my brass by HeadStamp but load different HS at the same time to the same spec. Never noticed any material diff shooting them. But then maybe I'm.just not that good of a shooter for that level of OCD to make a diff. I ate venison twice this week and goat once.
