[QUOTE="Long Dog, post: 487935, member: 21540"] The good news story here is the problem is solved. It took a trip back to the gun builder for him to rework the gun. "436" was correct on the brake. The brake was reamed too tight. The gun plumber opened the brake up and voilla, problem solved. Went to the range yesterday and shot 5/8" groups at 200 yards with two of the 4 loads I shot. The ES/SD leveled out and muzzle velocities increased (slightly). Needless to say I was estatic. I almost forgot, I also got a Seekings Precision detachable magazine system put on the gun to help with the bullet length problem. Not so much of a problem now and I can stretch the bullets to the bullet-ogive magic length of 3.005. I will do some more load tweaking [seating depth] to confirm this is the optimum length. I appreciate all the help and advice everyone gave me in helping solve the problem. [/QUOTE]
