So, I didn't think where it was landing mattered, since I was just doing one shot of different powder loads. I didn't concentrate as much as I would have if I was doing an accuracy test. But attached is the target... Ten shots with the least amount of powder in the top right, then...

By the way, how in the world does Hornady's Superformance factory ammo get such great velocities? This same rifle shoots a Superformance SST 165 grain bullet at an average of 2792 fps. I'd like to use whatever they are using.

I'm very new to reloading. Just shot a 10-shot ladder using H4895 ranging between 41.0 to 43.7 gr (using a 168 gr Hornady BTHP bullet out of a 20" barreled AR-10 platform). By the results (see chart below) it looks like the sweet spot would be to use around 43.1 grains (because even if that...

Yes! I had shots being fired as soon as I would take my rifle off of safe (not even touching the trigger). I had it taken in to a gunsmith and he had the same problem, but when the bolt would close. In my case, I believe he said the problem was the rifle stock was touching the trigger. This...

My understanding is that bullets are supposed to become more stable during the course of the flight since the rate of spin decreases at a far slower rate than the decrease in velocity. If what you're saying is true, I would guess the most likely option is that there were some pockets of wind...

And I tried to state it as just my opinion. But C'mon @ButterBean , how can chips of copper inside the bullet NOT affect the balance of the bullet? If perfect symmetry is the MOST important attribute to a bullet's accuracy (and it is), then the only way this could NOT affect the bullet...

Well, I too have noticed the oil. But it's not the oil that I'm concerned about... It's the chips of copper that are held inside the hollow tip because of the oil. Several months ago, I spent a good few hours spraying canned air down the tips of all couple hundred 214 HH I purchased. As I...

I didn't return the boxes. They just gave me the money I would have saved had I waited til this sale. With the military discount I used originally, this is how it all came out. I'm very happy.

Thank you! I just called up Scheels and with a receipt in-hand for a purchase I made almost a month ago, they gave me about $33.29 refund to my credit card. I didn't even need to go into the store! This was for 5x boxes of Hornady match ammo. Thanks again!

That's correct... About $129/ brick. It's the Cabela's at Lone Tree (didn't know there were two). The primers are on a blue cart right in front of the gun counter and near the waiting seats for background checks.

Just reporting that I was at Cabela's in Denver and they had ~80 bricks of CCI Bench Rest small rifle primers.

Where are you located?

Yes, like H4895 ... I so want to get an 8-lb jug of that. It seems to be so rare, I haven't even heard from anyone that they've seen it sold.

Darn... Just bought 500 of the Hornady version of this. Would have rather gotten these Noslers.
