[QUOTE="brokenspoke, post: 217285, member: 5350"] Well I've shot a few groups the last few nights & it seemed like seating the bullets out to the lands did the trick. It pulled the group size down about a half inch. The groups are staying right at an inch outside to outside of the holes which suits me just fine on these bigger calibers. My load ended up being 57 grains of H4350 over a CCI 200 primes in a Remington case that was full lenght resized, trimmed to lenght, chamfered & deburred, and of course primer pockets cleaned & deburred. I have a stoney point gauge & measured the overall length I needed with the 180 & seated my bullets to just barely touch the lands & has no interference with the bolt closing. These are shooting at an average of 2770 fps with not much deviation. Thanks for all the replies. You guys are a great bunch & so full of knowledge & experience. Meanwhile I'm still having fits with my 7mm & the 160 Partitions. I've switched to IMR4831 just because it seems to be a little more consistent than the H4350 was. I've been loading them in the 2900 fps second range but I'm going to try slowing them down until I get down to 2800 & see how they like the slower speeds. I may try some Retumbo or H1000 if I dont have any luck slowing them down with the IMR4831. I'm not really concerned about how fast they are shooting as long as I can hit what I'm aiming at. I'd like to be shooting faster speeds but I know it doesn't matter how fast it gets there if it doesn't go where it's meant to. So off to load I go...... [/QUOTE]
