Ah, and that is the right question. Anyone can throw a load cell out there and weight stuff. I threw this together playing with a "sort by weight" idea I came up with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V_Hm3oqlO4 Every time you add spot right of the dot (decimal), it gets a lot harder to be as...

These are the most expensive paintings in the world, the cheapest being $183 million dollars. https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/most-expensive-paintings-in-the-world-1696400725-1 If you don't have a few billion dollars to blow on art but like them. You can screen shot the image of...

I have sized only the neck portion of a case in a FL die. it's two tapers going into one another that contact each other, after the neck has been inside the portion of the die that sizes it. And yes all of the issues of neck sizing exist because thats all you are doing, until you lower the die.

I agree, I own lots of stuff that doesn't care (for the goals I have set) and still use them, same goes for measures with the right powders. Any process is only a "wrong answer", if it doesn't reach goals you have set. If you can get the results you are after with faster and easier methods...

Sure, its just cheaper and faster to make them.

I think a 6mm ppc BR gun thats just not a top 10 rifle anymore, would really impress you and can be picked up cheap vs building new. If 2oz triggers are ok with you.

Anyone have one to suggest or should I just run factory replacements?

If you do what I did in the first video in post #3, does yours do something different, than those two, under any conditions? The scales are saying .2 of a grain of powder weighs nothing. 1. Yes and no depends on #3 2. No 3. Not near it but I can tell when it's on or off. FWIW that 2nd video...

If it was applied correctly, it shouldn't come off even when he fires it, lubed or not, that is the point of coating the lead.

Sure and I've won a lot of 3 gun matches using mixed brass and FMJ's. The accuracy goal for that game requires less precision than any other rifle game I have played but its more about speed and stage tactics, than shooting a hole in a hole.

That even goes down to specific lots of the exact same headstamp, for some brands vary quite a bit, in their own production. Then again, some brands are completely avoided for the precision goal...

Yeah your bushing is right for a given wall thickness, you change that and your neck tension changes. Why most FL dies "under" the neck then ID size it with the expander. Now wall thickness can vary and your bullets don't fall down into thin necked brass...

I would use your FL die and set it for the tightest of the two rifles (so the ammunition is still good for the other) or use a case gauge. Something like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hWkcLPYOac I only have 1 firearm (out of a bunch) that just doesn't like FL resized brass and still...

I'd trade a cheaper savage for the ruger, just to flip it but if I had to add cash to even value, no, I'd get a better, less expensive platform than the mini.

Could be worse than just high prices, they could be dicks... https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/dicks-sporting-goods-followed-its-conscience-on-guns-and-it-paid-off
