[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 596487, member: 25488"] That is a very good point and one I overlooked. I assumed that because he was using book loads, he was also using otherwise book OAL/3.34" If you are loading beyond that then you should work up the load or at the very least check to see how close you are to the lands in both rifles. Johnboy I agree with you as well, but one individual's "accurate enough" is not always the same as the next. As far as my response to Tikkamike, I was sure he did not mean any harm but his wording made him sound pretty arrogant. I have seen some things he posted that were very informative and very good information to have, and I have no hard feelings. However it did seem like he was trying to completely discredit me with what he was saying when, although I did not list everything that could cause his problem, not one thing I said was wrong as he stated.
