Now that you've had a chance to read about the well lubricated and smooth running gears of potential Precision Reloading, (there are more factors involved, but..) let's throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing.

Many years ago I had a friend and two aquaintances that were bench resters. All of their reloading was done at their bench at matches.

I'm sure you've seen the hand loading kits with the decapper, primer inserter, projectile seater etc. and......... a small yellow dipper? I have a Lyman and one other I can't remember, both in our caliber but have never used them.

He would take a primed, prep'd case, the desired, proven projectile profile and weight, a small wide mouthed canniser of the required powder, a yellow dipper which he had filed down to the specific grain volume for the desired powder weight, dip the yellow dipper into the cannister and, with a credit card...... flick it across the top of the dipper and dump the powder into his case. He then used his hand held projectile seater and proceeded to shoot his 500 or 1,000 yard groups downrange.

Would you like to guess as to his results? ........ so.......... Are you going to reload with a dipper and a credit card? LOL
Only if you have an awful lot of spare hours for that methodology and, needless to say, his case prep did involve both inside and outside case mouth truing. I'll get into that later, and we actually do the inside truing. Our method produces very close to bench rest load results but is much faster in volume.
