Is it normal or ok to have small dents on the cartridge shoulder by the case neck? Can you still reload them with the dents. The cartridge body and case neck all looks good.

Is it a bennifit or necessory to use sealer on the bullet & primer and does this affect performance?

What is the best 30-06 brass cartridge for reloading out there?

Well gentleman I think i found my pet load for my 30-06 encore handgun. This load produces 3/4" groups @ 100 yards and 1" groups @ 200 yards. Federal Primer Winchester once fired cartridges (Cleaned & resized) 53.5 Gr. of reloader 15 powder 150 Gr. Hornady SST bullet COL: 2.290"

Well the results from the range are much better. 1-1/2" groups at 100 yards. I appreciate all the help. I'm going reload some more in 1/2 grain increments to see if i can tighten the group up a little more. The flyer & Dropper problems are gone.

I'm starting out with new winchester brass, and have a few once fired remingtion brass cartridges

The other thing i forgot to ask is the seating depth im using okay. How do you determine the propper seating depth?

Thanks for the info guys. Is there any pet loads you might have to offer for the 30-06? I am currently 1 grain of what the book calls as max. I really do appreciate all the help.

About how many times can you reload your brass casings befor they start loosing their effectiveness?

Thanks for the info Sharp shooter. I really appreciate it and will give it a try. I'm new to reloading brass ammo and was only crimping because i thought i was suppose to. My understanding and thought behind it was i needed it to let the pressure build befor the bullet exited. I am loading some...
