<r>Everybody knows shiny brass makes smaller groups ;D ;D ;D<br /><br />After being tumbled for about 2 hours....<br /><br /><IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/youdoodle-2019-06-30T14-15-14Z.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://kragcollectorsassocia...

<r>FINALLY able to provide y'all some info:<br /><br />This Graf Brass is some of the most consistent I have EVER encountered. Literally of the 10% population I weighed, they were all in the 182-183gr range. That's better consistency than my Prime/Norma 6.5 Creedmoor brass, better than my Atlas Deve...

<blockquote><br /><br /> I cannot close either bolt (without considerable pressure) on brass that has been fired (in the sporter) but not yet resized. Is there more I need to check before the question can be answered? Do I need to check with headspace gages? Is there something else I need to check?<...
