[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 221989, member: 7449"] If some are squeaking in then I'd guess you are close to the minimum side of the HS for the cartridge. Not a bad thing necessarily, but I think you'll want to hear this part. About four/five years ago I was building a 6mm-284 for a guy. I get the rifle done and it just will not shoot. Groups just absolutely sucked balls. So, naturally I'm ****ed, I'm boring a hole through my skull with my finger with all the head scratching, and I'm spending long hours at the reloading bench/test tunnel trying to figure this thing out because I KNOW I built it right. It was a Nesika K action, Kreiger barrel, and a bad *** looking laminate heavy bench stock. No reason for this rifle to be acting stupid like this. Well, turns out the HS was tight on the gun. I switched to new brass and it had chambering issues, just like your gun does right now. I pulled it apart and squeaked in the last little bit and suddenly it was a whole new rifle. It hammered groups that'd scare you to death, just like it was supposed to. I couldn't tell you to this day why it made such a difference, nor do I care. It worked and I've not made the same mistake again since. Better to be lucky than good right? Good luck Chad Dixon Gunmaker LongRifles, Inc. (coming soon) [/QUOTE]
