The Hawkeye is great. you won't know what clean is until you get one. One thing I would add is an LED replacement for the light. The Hawkeye uses a modified Mini Maglite and the brightness is terrible. Hawkeye sells a really expensive light upgrade for the Mini Mag. The cheaper solution is a...

Just came back from range. Shot 2, 4 shot groups at 100yds w/ 42.8-44 grains Varget in .4gr increments. Shots were randomly scattered w/ no group better than the rest. I'm concluding that I over annealed. Thanks for all of the input.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the reply. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have just stuck with the un-annealed brass. It was actually working very well.

I'm one of those who's stuck in the mindset that once I determine the load, I don't mess with it. Probably need to get over that. Any recommendations on how far from my old depth & charge I should start testing? Thanks.

I've heard that as well but I stupidly processed all 500 of my cases. That's a lot of bad groups to get back to normal. Has anyone hardened brass by sizing and expanding multiple times w/o shooting in between?

Thanks for all of the replies. Boyd & Jim. I have not choreographed the annealed vs annealed because I use a Magnetospeed and I suspect that it has some effect on groups size. I was planning on doing that after solving the group size issue. I was hoping that I would not have to do load...

I’m a prone shooter working on improving my 1000 yard precision. I just started annealing and processed my 3x fired 308 Lapua brass with a Bench Source annealer. All signs (tempilaq, flame color changing) were correct and the maker of the Bench Source assures me that I am doing the annealing...
