Thank you very much for explaining in details! I will try to get my hands on some flatbase bullets to see how they react :)

Ah, now I understand :) I will try with a flat base bullet if I cannot get these Amax shooting.. Otherwise I would appreciate some more opinions on if a barrel simply cant work with a specific bullet for no obvious reason or something must be off somewhere?

I have not verified it is a 1:9 twist! Only thing is I can see it has a faster twist than 1:11 by looking into the barrel with a flashlight. Will google easiest way to measure twist rate right away.

Actually I tested a prototype of the chassis before changing barrel and that went really well. Also, I have a master degree in mechanical engineering so I really do not hope something is off on the chassis :D But you're right, it could be the chassis is a bad mix for the bit strange Howa...

Thank you for the tip with a heavy flat base bullet to test if throat diameter is too large. I'm thinking would it be possible to measure this diameter by measuring the throat diameter on a fired case? I have not talked to my gun smith about the issue yet. We only have a few of those here in...

Serious project indeed. Maybe a bit more time consuming that first estimated! I think the only time I have made 2 changes at the same time was when I switched barrel and went from factory to reloaded ammo, but that is kinda the only option here. Otherwise I have always only made 1 change...

Just because you have made 3 different loads, it does not mean you have to fire them all!! Be happy if you and your rifle is still in the same number of pieces as when you started. And next time and FOREVER always start LOW and work your way up no matter how hot your friends shoot. It is okay...

No, I have not tried any ammo that shot groups under 1 inch. I have only tried many differet loads that I have made myself as described in my first post. Many different cases, two different powders, two different sets of sizers/seater and more or less all combinations of COL and charge weight...

1. No. It is not possible to get any slightly usefull 7mm08 factory ammo in Denmark. 2. Yes, I am (sometimes) capable of shooting sub moa. Several times I have shot sub ½ moa groups with some of my friends rifle's while getting frustrated with my own. Also many of my friends have tried my rifle...

Greetings all, My first post here on LRH. Google search has led me to this board on several occasions, but now I need to ask a question by myself :) See I have this Howa 1500 SA rifle I have been working on for some time.. I have made my own AICS style alu chassis with Viperskins and put...

Greetings all :) I'm 27 year old fun shooter from Denmark and I have come past this board several times from google when looking for answers on rifle accuracy and reloading. Now I have a question I need to ask some pro's :) I'm shooting a Howa 1500 in custom AICS style chassis in 7mm08...
