[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 495603, member: 2011"] I was but I screwed up a couple of things once and it worked so well I've stuck with it.:rolleyes: First mess up was pouring BMB into the RCBS Chargemaster. But checked some charts against what I had been using and said 'why not?' Second mess up was neglecting to remember :rolleyes: I had been messing with my seating die. When I got to the bench I couldn't close the bolt. A quick check revealed the seating was too long. I use a pretty light neck tension so just forced the bolt closed. Took a little effort but not real excessive. This shoved the 300 bergers in as far as the neck tension would allow. With that specific powder I thought/hoped that pressure wouldn't be too much and lit one off. Pressure was well within my limits, actually not even high. The POI was dead center zero @ 200. I fired two more to confirm group. Was well under 1/2 MOA. ES was in single digits. I left things as they are. I hope it doesn't bite me later on as so far I've fired every shot chambered. And for the ones I've tried the bullet came out with the case. This test was done at home with necessary bullet extraction tools readily available.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
