[QUOTE="Freddie Hunt, post: 709029, member: 54451"] Hi Guys, Firstly I'd like to thank you all for your prompt and detailed responses - very much appreciated. And Boomtube, I am sorry that I clearly offended you, I had no intention of doing so. I am using Federal Brass that was factory loaded then fired in my rifle, this batch is the first reload. The dies that I am using are Collet and the lube is RCBS Case Lube-2. I can now see where I must have been going wrong - not being careful/meticulous enough when preparing the cases. How foolish of me! CogburnR, would you recommend I buy some sizing wax or is the RCBS lube sufficient in your opinion? Since writing my original post last night I have tested the ammo today. I Loaded 3 lots of 3 rounds with 3 different powders, all other variables equal. The results were; 1) H380 54.0gn = 1.2" group @100yds. 2) IMR4895 49.0gn = 0.25" group @100yds 3) Reloader15 47.0gn = 0.25" group @100yds Unfortunately my Chrony ran out of batteries so I didn't get any MV results - man that ****ed me off!! Many thanks Fred [/QUOTE]
