[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 916065, member: 52437"] I am not in competition but I do want to get the most accurate loads o can achieve, within reason. if .005 is going to be that difficult or wrong, then where should I start? I don't measure everything you stated above but I do measure every round after bullet seating and with my first loads... they were all within + or - .003 of eachother so for example the shortest was 3.332 and the longest was 3.335. this was with partitions. I just read that most factory rifles like a bullet jump of .020-.050 off the lands. Now I'm even more confused. I am just trying to get a load that is at least under 1moa. I shot factory corelokts in this rifle and they shot very nice at right around .75MOA so I know the rifle can do it but the first loads I made were 1.5moa. They were the ones I stated coal for. They were with rl22 powder and h4350. I made several loads with the rl22 but only one load so far with the h4350. Everything has shot around 1-1.5moa which is disappointing so far. I tried mostly partitions and a few loads of sierra game kings both 180grains. PS I have loaded for my browning Xbolt with great results and consistency so I think my process so far has been ok.
