[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 922558, member: 61747"] Accuracy is not the issue for sure. I am fine with that. I do know something else is wrong though for a 26" barrel to be slower than a 22". So I am on a mission to increase my knowledge and experience. This is my first rifle build so I naturally figured I might have an issue with HS. Last night I was messing with my cases and checking necks, lengths etc. What I noticed is that some fired cases would hold a bullet tight and others would not, hmmmm, that is odd. I went to grab the cases used in the other 204 and noticed they were gone. Quizing my son it was discovered he cleaned them and unknowingly mixed all the brass together. DOH. So I have mixed brass. I am going to start over with annealing all of it, body size, shoulder bump, trim, etc. [/QUOTE]
