i usually don't clean primer pockets or uniform flash holes. Every powder charge gets weighed.

Few times each year i load 100 carefully crafted rounds.

1. Cases are weighed.

2. The cases are trimmed.

3. Case necks are chamfered.

4. Primer pockets and flash holes are uniformed.

5. Powder charges are carefully weighed.

6. A bullet of known accuracy is used.

Doing this stuff results in .223/5.56mm loads that make 1/2 inch five shot groups at 100yards.

My normal reloads using Winchester or Sierra soft point 55 grain bullets usually make 3/4" to 1" five shot groups at 100 yards.

The hogs and coyotes never know the difference.
