LOL, no I don't use calibrated brass. I do sort my brass by brand and also make some attempt to also sort by times reloaded.

Yeah, some of the rounds have been fired. Fired freehand. They all seemed to hit center mass on my test tree.

But no, I haven't fired any after running them through the new Lee factory crimp. The factory crimp was an experiment as others were advocating it. In the past I've always been happy with my normal crimp done in the seating die. But what do I know!

I haven't actually fired any through the 2.75" 69 I was making them for as it was clean. I've been testing them in my 3" 629-4.

I'm not trying to make bullseye competition rounds. I'm just looking for good combat accuracy. My eyes aren't good enough for more than that, although I'm going to the ophthalmologist in an hour, so you never know.
