I'll admit it, I'm as lazy as I can get away with being. And when I first used a Hornady press with the LnL bushings, I liked it enough that I converted my Rockchucker over to use them as well. For the loading I've been doing, .223, 9 mm, and .45 ACP, they've been fine, although I have had them loosen up a bit during a loading session, and even had one back out completely one time. So now I just make it a habit to check them periodically.
But my question has to do with using them for precision loading. Is it a bad idea? Are they a recipe for inconsistent ammo, or are there enough variables in the process already that it doesn't really make a significant difference? I'm putting together my first Grendel, a Howa Mini-action, and hope to wring every bit of accuracy out of it possible, which includes the ammo, of course. My ultimate goal is being able to reach out 1000 yards, so anything I can do (or NOT do) to increase my chances of success is worth it to me, especially if the cost is just a little inconvenience. Your thoughts will be much appreciated, thanks.
