Please explain.The ignore button is sure nice for Fguffy types.
At this point in time, I don’t know which one was the flyer, and I think that is true for most shooters I talk to. For one match, I colored bullets with 5 different mj markers, but the colors didn’t show up on the target. Later I learned about the dabbing with alcohol trick.How do you know which bullet is the flier at 600 yards during a record string ? Are you having a partner spot for you?
I shoot LG and HG (10 shots) and have not once cooked a round enough to DQ.At this point in time, I don’t know which one was the flyer, and I think that is true for most shooters I talk to.

I DQed in a 1,000yd LG relay with 4 on. The condition changed drastically right after I chambered a round. Instead of ejecting it, I left it in until the condition settled, it cooked and was off the paper. A mental error. My shooting mentor was kind enough to point this out to Me LOL.
I have a couple batches of brass turned and tuned for my LR BR, It took a bit of testing to get the bullet hold right enough to not tell the difference between the two batches on paper at 1 k. Recently batch #1 had been getting a few clickers that need attention so I have a back up die that reduces the .200 datum another thousandth so we will see if that helps.Neck tension is kind of a black art, in involves deminision, friction, neck thickness, and brass properties. For example two pieces of identical brass, one SS pin cleaned and the other not cleaned will have different tension with the same neck diameter. So as previously mentioned test your methods and find what works for your procedure.
You are probably right on. The conditions that day were BRUTAL, and totally unpredictable. Better and more experienced shooters/loaders than Me DQed that day.I shoot LG and HG (10 shots) and have not once cooked a round enough to DQ.
Perhaps your round didn't cook at all rather the conditions continued down range and sent your round wild.

I think you need a new mentor. There is NO WAY you could “cook” a round enough to cause it to rise enough off the target. I’ve shot many 1000 yard competitions and I’ve been known to leave a round in the chamber for as long as 3-4 minutes while waiting for the right wind. And that next shot is always a 10 or an X.At this point in time, I don’t know which one was the flyer, and I think that is true for most shooters I talk to.

I don’t know of a single winning 1000 yard F class shooter that cleans their brass with SS pins. You want to leave that carbon buildup on the inside of the neck. The pins take it off.Neck tension is kind of a black art, in involves deminision, friction, neck thickness, and brass properties.

Brilliant! - thanksNeed to clairify. I mis-labeled the thread and was not clear on what I am asking. My question intended to relate to shoulder bump not neck tension.

People put too much time and effort into making their brass shiny. It has ZERO positive effects on accuracy. My keys after firing brass are as follows:^^^^^^^

My goal is to spend the most amount of time on the range and the least amount of time reloading. In my pursuit of achieving the greatest level of precision and repeatability, I have been testing which reloading steps provide the greatest benefit versus which ones just take time. IMO, lubing...forum.accurateshooter.com

Sorry about that, I thought you were talking about David Tubb.David, also treats the necks with graphite and uses Bullets coated with HBN.

Dave,People put too much time and effort into making their brass shiny. It has ZERO positive effects on accuracy. My keys after firing brass are as follows:
1. Anneal after every firing
2. Full length size with bushing
3. Crushed walnut shell tumble for 1HR max
4. Trim to length (every other firing)
5. Minimal inside and outside neck chamfer
6. Deprime
7. Blow out with mild compressor air
8. Reprime by hand
9. Powder charge
10. Seat Bullets using LE Wilson seater, K&M Arbor press, and monitor press in force for anomalies
I may have scared him off with my picture of a head space gauge. Someone said he is active on another website.A little off topic but what the Hell ever became of Fguffy ? Googy as he was ?
