[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 323133, member: 13833"] Moman.....not sure why but I think one likely possibility is seating depth as is the case with bergers I've shot. As mentioned previously, the bergers wouldn't shoot for me until I jammed them into the lands. It could also be that swift uses a pretty thick jacket to control expansion. Sometimes the bullet won't obturate in the barrel when that's the case. A case in point might be part of the reason barnes cuts grooves in there monolithics? It could simply be that the bullet isn't well balanced?? If were going to shoot any more, I would first try seating into the lands at various depths. With a secant ogive, you can get away with jamming deeper because of the more acute angle than a spitzer. If you try that, be aware that "sometimes" you might get a pressure increase!
