[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1029707, member: 50867"] Inconsistent MV ..... [B]Inconsistent powder charge or contaminated powder[/B] Powder that has been allowed to stand uncovered, exposted to moisture, etc. [B]Neck tension[/B] Are you cleaning the inside of necks with wire brush? Are you using turned brass or "out of the box" brass? What brass is it (Lapua, Hornady, Wichester, .....) [B]Runout[/B] Do you or have you checked runout of the loaded round? [B]Seating depth[/B] Are you measuring seating depth CBOL? [B]Primer[/B] Primer pocket and/or flash holes inconsistent due to poor quality brass or carbon build up. [B]Copper fouling[/B] Do you have access to a bore scope [B]Inconsistent case overall length (some trimmed shorter than others) [/B]Are you trimming cases and what gauge do you rely on to verify lengths I've been hoping that MudRunner and perhaps J E Custom or Feenix would chime in on this. I'd like to see their ideas and opinions. [/QUOTE]
