6.5x47 Brass question:

Hey all, I accidently mixed together 25 pieces from two separate lots of Lapua 6.5x47 brass testing ammunition yesterday.

Should I:
A. Combine the remainder of the two lots, anneal, size, trim go on about my business. (200 rds total)
B. Accept that I now have one lot of 'rapid fire' brass.
C. Scrap both lots and buy an appropriate quantity (500? 1000?) of new brass that is all the same lot number.

I'm in the midst of troubleshooting an accuracy issue with the rifle, I'm thinking it's related to my old crusty digital pharmacy scale I've been using to weigh charges.

I use the rifle for 25% F Class, 75% Highpower prone.
 
A. Combine the remainder of the two lots, anneal, size, trim go on about my busines

Steve, I don't think your going to have a problem. I pick up range brass of all makes and use them for practice. From what I see, I could also use them in match's!

I have mixed lots and I have not experienced any notable issues.

I have 3 or 4 different lots of brass mixed and rotate them through 3 different rifles. Some loaded 5-6 times, some 2-3.
I've seen no difference in them in F class.
I do FL size and anneal every firing.
 
New Berger reloading has that info, contact Berger, buy the manual, just got mine Friday, signed and well worth the $$.

Hi Steve: Just purchased a cooper rifle in 6.5x47mm Lapua. Any idea where I can get reloading data for it?
Thanks.
