[QUOTE="Texas Republic, post: 643398, member: 19878"] I am sure youre right. It has to be the difference in neck sizing it because its the only variable that changed from the last load that didnt stick. I still had to trim a little I believe, but not as much as FL resizing. Looks like I am going to FL resize them all now. I need to bite the bullet and buy some Lapua, but man that's gonna hurt. I performed the seating depth test listed in the Nosler manual which involves coloring a loosely seated bullet and chambering it while noting the OAL once its ejected. My case came out measuring 3.645 OAL. Sound right? So should I subtract some off of that, or run with it? I take my Smith criticism back. Turns out the base wasnt touched by him. Came straight from Savage that way. Well its about to get some lock tite and elbow grease pretty soon here. I am going to switch modes to 308 for a little while, but will report back in when I can lay my hands on some 300 gr SMK and retumbo. [/QUOTE]
