[QUOTE="MachV, post: 1554421, member: 93"] Accuracy can be found where it is, you cant miss them fast enough. This is not a good place for a short cut Simple enough, the swagger takes the military crimp out of brass...Not an issue with 243 and 6.5CM. A cleaner will get the carbon out and even out seating depth. Barrel life is a low factor result. I have both(10 and 8 twist) for different uses In the case of your 243 a 10 twist will generally shoot the 55-75s (great prairie dog round=inside 400 yards) faster and accurately without ripping them apart. An 8 twist will fire the heavy long range bullets (good for those shots past 400) better but rip up the 55-75s Neck sizing will work for a few firings BUT after a few your going to have to set the shoulder back. The key is not mixing up brass that has different firings on it! Lapua is very dependable and preferred. Norma is consistent but soft. Winchester is cheap and a good value! Remington and Federal in my 243s the federal will lose primer pocket first, Remington will hold the most powder=till the neck splits. Lake City is preferred for 223. Have yet to wear out a firing pin BUT they can break at any time! though not common [/QUOTE]
