Pennies when comparing to everything elseJust the thought of sacrificing a Lapua case makes me sick.
Love mine as well. Glad I waited for the Mark II. Time to retire the homemade torch annealer...

you should sort your brass by head stamp then measure neck thickness on several to ensure they are similar. Keep any that are neck turned separate from those not turned yet. They get different settings.With Aztec mode are you checking multiple cases to see what code you get or just doing a single case?
All same lot of Lapuayou should sort your brass by head stamp then measure neck thickness on several to ensure they are similar. Keep any that are neck turned separate from those not turned yet. They get different settings.
That looks sorta awesome -- care to explain how you use it?
One sacrificed to the metal testing gods so others may live long lives. By annealing after every firing, you are keeping the shoulder and neck area the same hardness so resizing doesn't shorten life. This preserves the work you put into case prep. The other benefit is consistent neck tension which contributes to accuracy. In my last case of 100 Lapua 6.5 CMs there were 101. It was meant to be that one of them be "selected"Pennies when comparing to everything else
$1395.... falls into the buy once cry once category. I rationalized it was saving me money over timeThese still crazy expensive or am I always looking in the wrong place?
When I selected my sample case, I weighed them and went with one that represented the bulkOn my Lapua cases I got 5 different numbers. Low was 169 and high was 180
Haven't weighed them yet as I was waiting until after second firing so they are fully formedWhen I selected my sample case, I weighed them and went with one that represented the bulk
I would be curious if your range of codes correlates with different case weights. That is a big spread of codes.
