[QUOTE="Nobody, post: 273432, member: 11692"] Britz to answer a few of your questions, the rifle was overhauled top to bottom by Clarence Hammonds, a well-known benchrest gunsmith. The only thing I didn't have him do, and this was a mistake on my part, was to replace the trigger. That mistake will be rectified in the next week or so when I take the rifle out and have him do it. I'm using a Leuopld Mark 4 6.5 - 20x50 scope so that shouldn't be a problem. He worked on a 308 tactical rifle I have and that thing shoots 5 shot .3" groups when I'm doing my part. I weigh every load twice. Although I don't go for fancy cases - I just use Winchesters. And I don't neck turn them. I do full-length re-size though. I've used two types of primers so far in my experiments CCI-BR2 LRs and Winchester Magnums. I've heard there IS difference between LRs and magnum primers and I've heard there ISN'T a difference. When I measure COAL, I'm measuring off the ogive. Determining the COAL was something of a guessing game and in the end I just seated the bullet long and kept shortening it until I didn't get any land marks on the ogive. My standard is to keep the COAL consistent to .001. Friendlyfireisnt your comments about so many variables is the TRUTH. I get demoralized when I think that the problem could be my powder choice OR the primer OR I may not have the correct COAL or the bullet weight may be wrong for the twist rate. Heck, even the crappy trigger could be the problem. Thanks for your comments. [/QUOTE]
