Combining lot #'s

Tex S · January 4, 2009, 11:06 PM

I have about 80 once fired .270 cases that are all Remington. I bought them factory loaded with 130 grain accutip bullets. They have all been fired through the same rifle. I was wondering if it would be ok to combine all of them together even though they have diferrent lot #'s. I am in the development stages with this rifle and it seems that it will kinda be a pain to keep up with 4 diferrent lots of the same brass. What do ya'll think?

I find Remington cases pretty consistant but rather than sort them for lot #'s if you want to try for a little more accuracy, sort them by weight. Trim all to the same length and weigh the cases and if you find a few that are heavier or lighter than the main group, use them for plinking etc. Probably will be hard to tell the difference in accuracy but if that's what you're after sort by weight.
