From what you are saying I would really focus on seating depth and go shorter in 5 thou increments. If you get one end of the sine curve, fliers will result from the barrel changing direction as it vibrates. You are obviously very close. Eliminating one variable at a time methodically is the...

I think you need to go back to your load development before blaming the hardware. All rifles are subject to harmonics, if you don't get the powder charge and seating depth optimized, it will have fliers. If you are using the best powder charge of your ladder then adjust seating depth and see...

This is true as long as it is the same manufacturer, I assume that is a given in your post. Otherwise, the difference in brass thickness in places like the neck will cause a variation in neck tension and as a result pressure which will affect ES and SD. Thoughts?

Yes, I agree with don't waste time on uniforming primer pockets and flash holes on new Lapua brass. Erik is very good at not wasting time on things that do not work to add accuracy but he does fire form. He has a whole video on a fire forming gun that he built with a water cooled jacket. If...

Ok, I have to add to the discussion because it seems we are all beating around the bush here. Accuracy is a function of combustion, harmonics and down range ballistics. If you change any of the three, accuracy will change in one direction or the other. If you use different brass with a...

I don't believe he does. Please reference his fire forming video.

Yes, you can use the same lower as long as you stay in the same pattern. Recommend you use adjustable gas blocks on both uppers, that way you can adjust the needed volume of gas to properly cycle the BCG's. Also, the only thing differing in the BCG is the bolt itself. If you are on a tight...

I have 2 Proof barreled rifles, one in 300 WM and the other a 6 ARC ar15. The 300 is a sub .25 MOA rifle built by RBros. The other I built and shoots .5 MOA with factory 103 Hornady. I also own a Brux barreled FTR rifle in heavy Palma profile which shoots extremely well as a target rifle...

I concur, if I could only choose one it would be 300 WM due to versatility, bullet selection and factory ammo availability. The single most popular magnum, you can find it pretty much in every major sporting goods store and it can be loaded up or down for virtually anything. My favorite load...
