Not sure why the rail would ever flex if the front and rear scope mounts are secured. If the rail flexed at all then the scope mount bases aren’t set back hard against the rail notches. If there is gap, between the rail and scope bottom, it will always be maintained due to mechanical fixtures...

Matt, please read the previous comments from myself in order to gain the full picture, I think you have things confused. I’m fairly certain I was clear in exactly the progression of how this all has unfolded. At least I have been trying to be clear. I’m not going to reiterate every step I...

Oh, just in case it makes a difference, the G2 doesn’t shoot up to sense the bullets, it shoots down. The ambient light isn’t as much of an issue and hence it tends to be more reliable especially when the lighting feature is used. Just wanted to clarify that if anyone wasn’t familiar with...

Well, there is no one near me that I know who I can borrow their chrony (hopefully a better one). I will text a few guys at work that I think have one but that will take a bit of time. I figured a 10 shot string would give a broad data base. I think it did, it just didn’t turn out they way I...

The chrony is a Caldwell G2 w/Bluetooth. It isn’t a fancy chrony but it is reliable. I always recharge the batteries before heading out. It was about 2pm on both days and fortunately both days were overcast when I shot. I used the lighting feature on the G2 both times. The distance I placed the...

Ok, I got out to the range yesterday and ran my strings with the cartridges with the new primers/old powder and the ones with the new powder/old primers. I am now as confused and frustrated as ever and am now bald as I pulled all my hair out. I ran a 10 string (didn’t run all 20 as it was...

I’m really sorry for the long delay. Finally got back home yesterday (been more than a month out of town) and the first thing I did was to finish pulling the bullets out of 40 rounds (numbered each bullet to match to the same case later), removed the primers from the first 20. I weighed every...

My apologies Hunter for taking so long to reply. My work has sent me off to a remote job site and I’ll be returning home sometime around the 12th of this month (give or take a day or two due to possible commissioning delays). I’ll be getting right on solving my issue when I get back and posting...

Quite a number of ppl have brought up the primer/pocket as the potential issue and when I remove the 10 primers, I will be checking them very closely. Should I find any discrepancies, I’ll try to take a pic and post it. Members on here have been at this a lot longer than I have and their alarm...

Unfortunately no, it’s a second hand gun that shot very well. I happily took it in due to the previous owner having treated it exceptionally well. Man, wouldn’t that be great if that was the case.

I have contacted them Heavydane. The first response was a query as to the lot number and type of rifle I was using. The second response was basically a pointing of the finger at the transport company/seller. I would maybe agree with the moisture issue if it affected all cartridges but there is...

I just sent off another email to Norma detailing my process of elimination. I’ll be pulling bullets from 20 cartridges and dimensioning them to rule them out. Next I will weigh each powder charge and record the weights. On 10 of the cartridges, I will replace the powder (I’ll be using H1000)...

I will pull the bullets and weigh them as well as the charges. It’s bugging me enough to get to the bottom of it. I do have mic’s and vern’s so I can size them as well as weigh them.

I do reload so it isn’t too big a deal to dig deeper. It is possible for me replace the powder on some cartridges and in others only the primers. That way it would give me a definitive answer as to which component had the issue. To answer the question how I measured the speed, I used a Caldwell...

I was expecting to shoot no more than 400yds but most likely inside of 200. I was just shooting at 100yds and the overall vertical spread was around 6” if I remember correctly but honestly it could’ve been more or less without finding my data sheet on it. What is a bit confusing is that some of...
