BoomFlop, I have seen mention of the shell holder kir before but did not pay much attention to it. How is it different than adjusting the die up or down? I can see where changing the shell holder to get a setting faster without trial and error. Is that the primary function...fast, precise...

Check out Rollin Oswald.."Stock fitters Bible". He is also on the Trapshooters Fourm. Great read. Don't overlook "pitch" on your stock. Your cheek will thank you! Good luck.

Prayers set for the family and Christopher and all the care givers.

Good discussion. I like "Epic wipes" www.epicwipes.com. Different sizes. Small to extra large. Used them in Alaska and Wyoming on extended trips. Worth it!

I second Dillon Dies, Titegroup powder & CCI primers. Also the same for Xtreme bullits Do a search for "plunk" testing using your barrel/chamber as a case gauge.

Mikecr, are you suggesting to neck size only with a bushing 2 to 3 thou less and then use the caliber size mandrel after that?

Agree with 65WSM. K&M makes mandrels to your spec https://kmshooting.com/product/expand-mandrels/ https://kmshooting.com/product/custom-standard-expand-mandrels/ Check out their download for tool instructions when ordering They make great products & have great customer service.

Thanks JD & Lance for the info.

I was just wondering. Is the typical of a hand lapped barrel also? I have a Bartlein barrel. Thanks

I did shoot left to right within an 8" spread. That make sense. I have really been thinking of getting a magnetospeed. My buddy is getting the Lab Radar. We are going to compare each of them. I am thinking the magnospeed will be easier to set up. Thanks for your info!

Vance, I have the Chrony Master. Beta model. I have black shade screens on each side.

I thought about that. Barrel was barely warm between shots. Match barrel. Not saying the chamber didn't get warmer....that is a great idea to monitor. Next string I will take more time between shots & strings. My buddy suggested a digital infared thermometer. The jump was not a lot. And it...

Thanks L.Sherm & archp625 for the advise. I will load up some light loads and shoot thru the chrono & look for velocity increase. Or do you suggest using the load that I have been using. Was just thinking of saving powder. Cheers

That is good advise. I will put some rounds down range and then start the testing again. Thanks for your help.

About 5 min between string 1 & 2. Temp was 47-48 degrees & cloudy. Prior to the test the round count was 50.
