[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 449144, member: 28887"] Very well said. I am trimming my cases to uniform length but I do notice that some cases seem to have a thicker wall. I assume that if I can notice that with the naked eye, that might be causing some variance in neck pressure, but don't know for sure. The advice you gave is exactly the advice that one of my friends gave he (he's the one that got me into reloading). Check the action screws and too much pressure/varying pressure on barrel of non-floating barrel. At the range I was resting the barrel instead of the stock on the sandbag and I was holding the top of the barrel just above the edge of the stock with my left hand. I know that sometimes I was applying more pressure down with my left hand than others. Didn't even think at that time that this could be a problem. But I will try a different form and see if that helps lose the flier. Concerning the seating, I'm not for sure as to the best terminology, but I may be jumping a little. Here's what I did...seated a dummy round by using the pressure on the bold to jam the bullet into the case. Then I used the press to try to match that depth and after I load each round, I run it through my chamber and eject it (just to make sure that the bullet won't stick in the barrel out in the field when I eject). So all that to say...the bullet may not be jammed too hard into the lands, but this seems to give me the best groups. [/QUOTE]
