Im with Gaz & i need all the help i can get.
If my rifle did what yours does with any brass & bugger all prep i wouldnt bother either...
In trying to re-sight my 204 in today, ive also had gòod results with my annealing test.
After 5 firings my groups have opened up (a couple of firings ago) to .7"-.8"...sometimes out to nearly an inch.
So i finally FL sized, trimmed, chamfer deburr & annealed the cases.
Then i neck sized them again...
So the load i use shoots a relatively consistant .3"-.4" at 100m (110yds)-(before they opened up a bit)
While i was only shooting 2 shots at a time for this exercise today (sighting in), the 2 shot groups (not really a group i know) but the pairs of shots are at .4"-but now at 200 yds...!!
Im pretty happy with that...so far the effort to anneal & re-prep all the brass looks like it was worth it...for me anyway.
At the end of the day, i dont care what others do to their brass, im just learning it all.
But one things for sure big fella...if i imagine you & i sniping 300+ yd bunnies from under the shade of a eucalypt while washing down beer nuts with an ale between turns...the only thing that comes to mind is the size of the grin & joy on our faces...!!! ...not the case prep...!!!
Nothing better than sitting under a tree busting bunnies, I'll bring the beer you bring the nuts
